The Brink Lounge * * Regular venue - Third Thursday of each month In the main lounge. Elegant atmosphere with great wines, cocktails, ands small plate items. I'm thrilled to be joined for this show by a special guest, my friend and colleague Dave Schindele, one of the finest songwriters I know. His musical and lyric artistry will draw you in...transport you...challenge you...and move you. We were formerly part of a collaborative project called Likely Stories (along with Nancy Rost of Madison) so who knows, perhaps we'll dust off some tunes we can do together?? Maybe I'll bring the cello? |

Reviews about Michael: "To reveal musicians' true talents, put them on stage with only their instrument and see what they can do. Time and again, local guitarist Michael Gruber has proven his skill in just this way. Gruber pleasantly reminds us why our country is referred to as a melting pot - serving up a tasty lend of blues, folk and rock'n'roll." “[Gruber's CD] "Yesterday is Make Believe" is an enjoyable collection of songs that highlight Gruber’s best talents. The tracks run the gamut from easy swinging folk with R&B leanings, to pop songs in a band setting, to finger-style acoustic instrumentals. The emphasis is squarely on the acoustic guitar and Gruber’s rich baritone...” |
