Solo Show
Michael Abbott is a 24-yr old Pell City, AL native who has been performing and honing his act over the last several years.  During acoustic sets, he uses digital technology to create the sound of a full band with his one-man act.  Michael uses a loop machine to create the foundation of his songs, and then uses various guitars, harmonicas, and percussive instruments to create overlying melodies.  Each acoustic show is different and entertaining offering something more than just the status quo.

Rock and Roll

In addition to his solo projects, Michael also finds time to play a few heavier tunes with his Nashville based rock band. Having just completed a full production, 7song limited edition album, Michael and his band are now getting ready for a spring promotional tour. 

“I teamed up with producer Jonathon Smith on my latest album because of his growing reputation as a rock producer.  I had some songs that I really needed to get recorded the right way with the right people.  We were able to spend several months in the studio and take our time to get the results we wanted.  We layered a lot of tracks and I tried a lot of new things that I hadn’t done before.  I think what we created is something that I can be proud of and continue to build upon.”

Michael is welcoming the change his new band lineup brings as his sound continues to evolve.  Here's a little more info about the new album.

“I think we have a good sound with this record.  I really like playing the music and look forward to hearing feedback from others.  It’s definitely in the rock alternative category, and the music is very melodic.  I know a lot of people probably say that about their music, but when I write, I hear harmonies in my head first, and then I play them on my guitar.  I’ll just play a melody for days or even weeks, and then gradually find the right set of words to put with it to create a song.  I never do lyrics first, and that’s why I think the music is the way it is. I also have to thank Jonathon Smith, my producer, for pulling the best out of me and sharing my vision for what this project could be.  I hope everyone enjoys the album as much as I do and I look forward to seeing you out on the road.
