About this event

Doors 8 ~ Show 9 ~ 21+ ~ $10

With a remarkable versatility across genres like folk, country, electronic, indie rock, and hard rock, his compositions are written to be adapted to various musical styles. Michael made his mark as a member of acclaimed bands such as Tabla Rasa (1999-2005), 5 Defy (2006-2008), Molly Picture Club (2009-2013), and Kodascope (2013-2016). He is also the driving force behind Found A Job, a popular 8-piece tribute to Talking Heads since 2012, where he embodies David Byrne's essence.

In addition to his live performances, Michael's songwriting prowess has earned him placements on notable TV shows like "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" and various Discovery Channel segments. With an extraordinary ability to connect through heartfelt lyrics, captivating melodies, and a solid beat, Michael B. Tipton continues to enchant audiences with his music.

After enduring a prolonged songwriting drought, Tipton found solace in the music of his upbringing—Asleep At The Wheel, Bob Wills & The Texas Playboys, Ernest Tubb, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and George Jones. This rediscovery sparked a creative surge, resulting in a collection of heartfelt songs. Scheduled for release in the fall of 2023, "Out of The Woods" captures Tipton's revival and showcases his storytelling. As Tipton explains, it's the most personal and coherent set of songs he's written to date.
