Michael McNevin is the real deal! His songs read like short stories. They are full of heart, humor, and a keen eye for detail. His accomplished guitar work and seasoned vocals underscore the characters and places he comes across in his travels.

Michael grew up in the train town of Niles, CA, in the east bay hills of the San Fransisco Bay Area. He started playing underage in East Bay bars, mixed in a six-month stint busking the streets and subways in New York, and has since logged 25 years on the U.S. songwriter circuit.

Michael has shared hall stages with Johnny Cash & The Carter Family, Donovan, Shawn Colvin, Richie Havens, Iris Dement, Greg Brown, Christine Lavin, Robert Earl Keen, and many of others.

He’s been a main-stager at Strawberry, High Sierra, Kerrville, Redwood Ramble, American River, SummerFolk in Canada, and the Philadelphia Folk Fest. He’s been the winner of the Kerrville New-Folk award in Texas, Performing Songwriter Magazine “DIY Artist Of The Year”, 7-time grand finals "Song Of The Year" honors for West Coast Songwriters. He's also been a 3rd place finalist at both the Rocky Mountain Folks and Telluride Troubadour Competitions in Colorado, and was nominated Artist Of The Year by the National Academy of Songwriters.

Michael tours as a solo act in the US and parts of Europe, and occasionally gets a band together as McNevin & The Spokes. In addition, Michael is an Etch A Sketch artist of some renown, delighting and dumbfounding audiences. Not kidding, he illustrates his songs on the little red toy. When not touring, Michael owns and operates The Mudpuddle Shop, now in it’s 14th year.. A converted 1920s barbershop, the 15’x15’ space is a creative hive for acoustic concerts, workshops, showcases, and song swaps. His Etch A Sketch drawings hang proudly on shop walls, waiting for an earthquake.

Notable Quotes about Michael….
