Michael's music is a delightful combination of folk, pop, comedy, and dialogue. His influences include Ween, Jonathan Richman, Flight of the Conchords, and the Spice Girls. Michael's appeal is most evident at his live shows, which range from solo acoustic performances to full big band blow outs. In 2007, Michael Rockstar became the face of Portland’s PDX 49 television station, recording their primary jingle as well as various promotional spots. In response to these TV appearances, Michael receives both hugs from strangers and brutally vicious hate mail. Join the fun!
