Michael Colton is a singer/songwriter and a blazing guitarist whose rootsy approach to countrified, bluesy pop goes right to the heart. With songs that simultaneously invoke storytelling traditions (a la Jason Isbell) and fiery energy (a la Keith Urban or Gary Clarke Jr.), Colton has discovered a way to reach audiences on multiple levels.
While Colton’s voice conveys obvious depth, his guitar solos incorporate the soaring bends of the Chicago blues tradition, alongside ethereal textures and lyrical motifs, typically unfolding into epic guitar adventures. Yet, guitar remains a means, not an end - as Colton learned while recovering from an acute head trauma that nearly ended his life. “To keep my brain sharp, I started playing guitar 5 hours a day. And somehow, I feel like it healed me better than any medicine I was given.” Ultimately, Colton sums it up by saying, “I like to play music rather than just the guitar.”
