Blending the nuance of a classically-trained musician, the twang of a born-and-bred Texan, and a genre-bouncing career spent
collaborating with musicians from around the world, Michael Shay's vision exists comfortably outside any "Americana" box while still evoking his earliest influences: Townes Van Zandt, Neil Young, Dylan, and the Dead.
