Michael performs both solo and with The Atlantic Tramps. Most recently, the band have spent the past few summers steadily growing a fanbase in North America, performing at multiple celtic festivals & folk venues in Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois & Iowa while maintaining a busy touring schedule in their home base of Ontario, Canada. Michael also embarked on a successful Irish tour in 2023 culminating in a packed show at the historic Cobblestone in Dublin. His 2022 single “Sweet St. John’s” was featured on the popular St. John’s Morning Show for CBC Radio One in Canada. He has performed shows at many of Toronto’s legendary venues including Rivoli, Horseshoe Tavern, El Mocambo & Hugh’s Room Live, and has shared the stage with multi-platinum Irish artist Mundy on numerous occasions as his special guest.

After releasing his impressive solo debut Simple Drop of Rain, which resulted in positive reviews and radio play on both sides of the Atlantic, Michael returned to the studio with The Atlantic Tramps in tow for the eagerly-awaited follow-up album Down to the Roots. Released in 2022 to critical acclaim, it garnered a 2023 Canadian Folk Music Awards nomination for Traditional Singer of the Year while his original song “The Ballad of Uncle Frank” was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2023 Ontario Folk Music Awards. His third studio album, Homemade, was released in 2025 and as the title suggests, it was engineered, recorded and produced at Michael’s home studio in Paris ON, becoming his first DIY release. It once again lead to a Traditional Singer of the Year nomination for the 2026 Canadian Folk Music Awards.
