A Chicago-area native, Michael was part of the Chicago production of Million Dollar Quartet for four years. He plays regularly in theaters across Chicago and can be heard on recordings by Clara May, Dick Prall and Preston Graves. A man of many genres, Michael has big band, symphonic, jazz and contemporary projects under his belt, but he is particularly pleased to be playing the early rock & roll music he grew up hearing on his dad's 45s. Michael has been a member of Jared Freiburg & the Vagabonds for the last two years. Theater credits include Hats! starring Melissa Manchester, Gotta Dance starring Stephanie Powers and Rent directed by David Cromer.
