TheFunkyMichael

TheFunkyMichael – that´s craft-funk, freestyle-guitar and soul-voice, performing a mix of classical jazz/folk/rock songs as well as own stuff. Living for ten years in Vienna now, Michael has not been able to stop performing music – although he tried several times. However, he lacks the emptiness to do so. He is fan of hippos and panda bears, loves dancing, unique moments, fun and slapstick on stage.

Shamanic Walls 2017

That´s worldmusic for loosers, winners and very normal people. No genre, no Borders. Only crafted percussion-jazz-funk-freestyle-solo-guitar. That´s where The Funky Michael performs: experience an extraordinary mix of virtuosity, groovy vibrations, mystic atmospheres, unique arrangements and inimitable live slapstick… Always manatee-grooved and panda-proofed!

On November 16, 2017 the album Shamanic Walls has been released (El Corredor Records, 14 Tracks, ca. 60 min.).
