Michael Gabriel Music Singer Guitarist from Santa Barbara, CA

Hello! I'm new to The Bash but definitely not new to the stage. I have performed solo for three decades all over North America in concert halls, rock clubs, upscale lounges, for weddings, celebrations of life and numerous house concerts. I'm grateful for my singing and songwriting career and I put everything I have into every gig, whether it's for an intimate listening room or at a beautiful theatre. I would be happy to speak with you to help customize your event to ensure the performance is exactly what you are looking for. "Akin to heartfelt songsmiths Jim Croce and James Taylor, Gabriel, possesses a sage, soothing voice that instantly engages listeners" Coral Andrews - The Record SHORT BIO I'm a full-time singer/songwriter with a melodic/soulful style who has released several original albums and EP'S. From my North American orchestral concert series, to my rock band in LA, along with thousands of solo shows throughout my career, writing and performing have been the constants in my life. I'm currently focused on touring, public and private bookings, recording singles and creating new works for the stage. "The combination of his powerful voice, poetic lyrics and catchy melodies deliver unforgettable tracks that touch upon universal truths we all experience. Michael Gabriel is simply an incredible songwriter." Carie Humphries - Echo Magazine. MY PERFORMANCES I play a blend of soulful covers and originals that always work well and add a positive vibe to the room, especially in initimate settings. Depending on the energy of the crowd, I can perform more melodic finger-picking style songs or rhythmic mid to uptempo tunes. Also, my vocal processor provides real time harmonies while I sing which brings a real depth to a solo performance. I utilize a column amp that can fill any room with a balanced sound. I play a variety of covers from James Taylor to Jack Johnson and from Jason Mraz to Garth Brooks. I'm always adding new tunes to the set. *If there is a specific song you want to hear, we can discuss that while we dial in the final booking details. I look forward to hearing from you and playing for your next event! “It was like being at our own personal concert that we never wanted to end.” Mark Neveldine – Director, Writer & Producer (Crank 1 & 2, Ghost Rider 2)
