Walter Michaels
Walter Michaels is one of the premier guitarist-singer-songwriters of our time. With hit songs such as Who?s Holding You Now and Let You Go enjoying national airplay and a stint in the Top 40 charts Walter?s mixture of straight ahead rock, southern rock and blues combine to create a sound and style that is unique yet with a recognizable commercial appeal. Walter?s guitar playing borrows from legends such as Clapton with frequent comparisons to Lindsey Buckingham due to Walter?s strumming and picking technique playing rhythm and lead without a pick.
As Walter expresses it, ?Music isn?t just about notes and tones and frequencies, beats, measures and timing. Music is about feel. About soul. You don?t just hear music, you feel it. Music can set the mood. Make you happy. Make you sad. Get your heart pumping or relax you. Instruments, amplifiers, effects ? Those are just tools. It?s what you do with them that counts. It?s the vibe you create that counts. Play it because it feels good. Play it like you mean it. Keep it simple. Keep it real.?
