Michael’s debut EP, Hello Coyote, is available now as of Jan 22, 2021 on all streaming platforms.

“Hello Coyote brings together all of my muses: family, friendships, romance and the summer nights in any place on earth where it’s warm enough to feel it in your bones. Over the last few years, writing and making music became my reasons for keeping on, and these songs are attempts to find the rhythm in life’s changes and in life’s heartache, and the coyotes, still running through the hills.” - Live at 5 is an Anchor Eighty Four Media original.
