Michael’s first love is Rhythm and Blues. He played lead and slide guitar with the band "The Rumble" for 7 years performing all over the United States. The Rumble, a group of 5 talented musicians, performed Rock and Roll, Blues and Jazz while opening for such national acts as Johnny Winter, Savoy Brown, and Robert Junior Lockwood. Michael has been the Jam Boyz lead guitarist for ten years and enjoys the diversity of music the band performs. "I love the musical challenge of playing Big Band and Swing music, Disco, Motown, Ballads, Rock and Roll, and Santana all in the course of one evening - it really challenges the musician's creativity and use of his equipment in a live setting."
