I believe that every major shift in social consciousness has been accompanied by a change in music — and this is happening again now! Music from all parts of the world has been blending together powerfully for over two decades.

The Artist’s View

By Staff Reports Leave a Comment

Michael Monroe…Live At The Cedar was an ambitious undertaking for me. I challenged myself to get everything right the first time, from performing all of the songs the way I wanted them to sound, to having a glitch-free night with a responsive crowd. I was pleased that I played with energy and enthusiasm and had lots of help with the rest!
