Michael Monroe: When I'm 64
From vinyl to digital, Michael Monroe is now in his fourth decade of performing nationally in concert, festival, corporate and educational settings. He has travelled many miles since his first paid performance for an audience of 4000 and recording his first demo 30 years ago in a chicken coop studio owned by Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul and Mary.
Michaels unique creation of music leaves his audiences mesmerized as he blends his rich vocals, guitar, bamboo and glass flutes, combining musical styles of acoustic folk and jazzy reggae. Michaels original music and compelling energy bring a powerful style that is as much fun as it is innovativemusic and technology working together powered by creativity and he recycles his music LIVE on stage. He has been a LIVE Looper since 1990. His soulful performance delights and inspires.
Michael Monroe lives and records on the North Shore of Lake Superior in his solar powered log cabin studio. His instrumental music is seen across the nation on PBS and Canada in the award winning documentary, Chased By The Light, about Jim Brandenburg, National Geographic photographer and best selling author. The documentary was shown at the Toronto Environmental Film Festival and New York Indie Film Fest. Brandenburg and Monroe created a LIVE theater experience in several venues including the Guthrie Theater which featured Brandenburgs magnifcent images and Michael Monroes instrumental music. Michael received a 2004 regional Emmy for his music in the KSTP television documentary Soaring on Mended Wings.
In 2012 he released a DVD LIFE OF MY TIME celebrating his performing original music for four decades and he released his 11th CD, TIME TO GET AWAY in 2013. Monroe received a 2013 Artist Initiative Grant from the MN State Arts Board with Legacy funding. He will be using this to produce a DVD about the Log Cabin Concerts he has presented in his home for the past eight years. Audiences come from far and near to hear Michael perform in his charming Grand-Marais log home and see his MisTree Solar-Powered Studio, where he writes and records his beautiful songs.
