Michael Jones, born to musician parents and has music in his blood. as a small child, he was always making sounds, with whatever he could find, to make the music. Michael was a child prodigy, playing clarinet with the school orchestra, at the tender age of seven. He went on to play tenor saxophone in high school. After high school, he picked up the guitar. On a cross country road trip, unbeknownst to him, he played with Cat Stevens, at a road side rest stop. After it was made known to him that he had just played with a legend, he knew that music was his destiny.
Michael has performed all over the United States. His original folk/rock music is successful in entertaining crowds of all types. He has an incredible talent for keeping the crowd Jumping. His style is a mixture of folk rock, country and is blended with just a touch of pop. His songs and style have been compared to such greats as Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead, they touch the soul and stay in the mind long after his performance
In 1994 Michael founded Music for HOPE a non-profit charity that helps disadvantaged youth get involved in music as well as helps schhool music programs, check out Music for HOPE at www.musicforhope.org
