When
people ask what kind of music do you play, I share with them that Count
Basie said "There are only 2 kinds of music, the good kind and the
other kind." I play the good kind. MC
Northwest
singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, band leader. Michael Clune has
been performing in the Northwest for the last 2 decades including performances
at The Back Stage, Bumbershoot, The Washington State Fair, Chico World
musical festival, Seattle Mardi Gras, and The Triple Door. Michael's recording
and performance sessions are extensive. They include: Lonnie Turner, (the
legendary bass player,) James Michael Thomas (Ray Charles guitarist) and
Alice Stuart (Burnside records recording artist).
Michael's debut CD, Easy Street (2004) showcases his soulful, expressive
vocals, skillful tasty keyboard work, and solid drumming. Easy Street
has stimulating, tight arrangements that make you want to listen over
and over. Easy Street is available on itunes.com and cdbaby.com
It's a catch!
Michael’s
musical style can be described as funky, soulful, rhythm rock with a passionate
vocal. It moves and it grooves like sticking the sounds of Marvin Gaye,
Paul Simon, Dave Mathews, and Bruce Hornsby into one room. Michael Clune
& Sleep Till Noon performs on the first Friday evening of the month
from 8-10 PM @Coffee to a Tea, 4541 California SW, Seattle WA
"To all the great musicians that performed on Easy Street,
and to those that influenced the tunes, I am looking forward to working
with you on the next release." Mucho Thanks!
