Description

From vinyl to digital, MN Acoustic Music Master (Star Tribune), Michael Monroe is now in his 6th decade of performing nationally in concert, festival, corporate and educational settings. He has travelled many miles since his first paid performance for an audience of 4000 in Asbury Park, NJ and recording his first demo over 4 decades ago in a “chicken coop” studio owned by Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul and Mary. Michael’s original music and compelling energy bring a powerful style that is as much fun as it is innovative…music and technology working together powered by creativity… and he recycles his music LIVE on stage as master LIVE Looper since 1990. His soulful performance delights and inspires. Michael Monroe lived and recorded on the North Shore of Lake Superior in his solar powered log cabin studio until his relocation to the Twin Cities, MN in 2021. His instrumental music was seen across the nation on PBS and Canada in the award winning documentary, “Chased By The Light”, about Jim Brandenburg, National Geographic photographer and best selling author. The documentary was shown at the Toronto Environmental Film Festival and New York Indie Film Fest. Brandenburg and Monroe created a LIVE theater experience in several venues including the Guthrie Theater which featured Brandenburg’s magnificent images and Michael Monroe’s instrumental music. Michael received a 2004 regional Emmy for his music in the KSTP television documentary “Soaring on Mended Wings.”
