INTRODUCTION

shinecat@hotmail.com

My name is Michael, I play guitar (lead/rhythm) & bass, sing harmony or lead vocals & write music & lyrics. Performing with various bar bands for over 20 years, covers & originals. I also produce/arrange, do sound engineering, MIDI sequencing, analog synthesizer programming. I commute between Montreal Quebec & Cornwall Ontario (Canada) & am free to travel wherever someone needs my services.

Adding to my musical abilities, are my experience in PHOTOGRAPHY & GRAPHIC ART, as well as my work on Animated & Feature Films & Video. I also speak French & German.

If you are (or know of) an experienced, singer, bassist or drummer. Available to play as a duo or band, playing covers/originals in bars, &/or to record my original songs, then click HERE.

Are you an experienced Manager, or want to become one? Then click HERE.

Please keep in mind: Most bar bands playing covers will earn about $400 per night, $500 or more on tour. Duo's about $200. BUT: until you have a CD on the market & a good manager to push it, playing ONLY originals may limit how often you'll play & how much you'll earn. So be realistic, by playing covers & adding about 30% originals, MORE people will hear what you can do.
