Michael William Harrison – folksinger – has been an enthusiastic member of the SCMA and a consistent NTIF performer for several years running. Michael can belt out a rousing Irish pub song and drive it home with a foot-stomping rhythm guitar; then, turn the page and sing a touching story in song with finger picking like a gentle rain.
With family here, Michael performs mostly in North Texas doing over 300 shows in 2005; and, teaching “performance singing” classes at the O’Flaherty Irish Music Retreat. The road, too, is no stranger to Michael who found his way in 2005 to many pub, festival and coffeehouse performances in Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi and Missouri.
