Bio
Michael Gaither has been a journalist, teacher, even a joke writer for Jay Leno. All roads led to music. His CDs "Spotted Mule and Other Tales" (2006) and its autobiographical follow-up "Dogspeed" (2009) mix folk, Americana, and even a little gospel to tell funny and poignant stories of everyday life. Michael also hosts the "Songs and Stories" podcast (available at michaelgaither.com and on iTunes), which features stories behind his songs and interviews with other independent songwriters.

Your lyrics are so obviously personal that the songs made me feel comfortably right at home. They are playfull but also honest and emotionally sang. In my opinion, you're right up there with some of the greatest!

“Thanks for your insightful musical compositions. As a Trucker driving local in Washington for going on 33 years now, it's nice to hear my daily inner commentary put to song.”
