Born in Lander, Wyoming, Michael grew up singing harmony to classic country standards with her Grandmother Audrey. Michael's singing and songwriting drew on that foundation, mixing in layers of jazz, roots rock and melody, to create a sound that stretches far beyond her classic country roots. Currently residing in Portland, OR, her melodies and lyrics draw from the lush, weeping landscapes, and are narrated by a voice described as "full of torch and smoke."
