"Minnesota’s Acoustic Music Master" (Jon Bream/Star Tribune) and Emmy award-winning Michael Monroe, performs an evening of music by the tremendously popular British singer-songwriter, Cat Stevens. In the '70s, Michael Monroe looked like Cat Stevens, performed Cat tunes and even wanted to be him! Stevens, whose music remains relevant five decades later said, ”Music can be healing... for what looks like a gigantic divide in this world, I feel I can point a way toward our common humanity again." Monroe shares this viewpoint and feels Cat's tunes are especially timely today. Cat Stevens “had rare ability to combine the strength, fragility, and sometimes mystery of his highly personal compositions,” said the LA Times.
Michael Monroe has performed his original music for five decades. His hand-crafted Seaton guitars are made of 200 year-old reclaimed wood from the bottom of Lake Superior. These “works of art,” his rich vocals and crystal/bamboo flutes showcase his signature mellifluous sound. Expect the best of Cat with songs like "Wild World," "Peace Train," "Father & Son," "Hard Headed Woman," "Boy With Moon & Stars," "Oh Very Young," "Where Do The Children Play," "Can’t Keep It In" and of course, "Moonshadow."
From vinyl to digital, Monroe is celebrating over 50 years performing acoustic music for his profession. He plays hand-crafted Seaton guitars, which are “works of art,” and made of 200 year-old reclaimed wood from the bottom of Lake Superior. His rich vocals and crystal/bamboo flutes showcase his signature mellifluous sound.
Michael Monroe returned to the Twin Cities following his 28 years on the North Shore of Lake Superior and he presented Log Cabin Concerts monthly in his cabin on the shore for the past 17 years which were featured on KSTP’s Jason Davis’ On The Road and in Lake Superior and Cabin Life Magazines. Monroe’s award winning instrumental soundtracks have been featured on PBS/CBC, Toronto Enviro/New York Indie Film Fests in the documentary, “Chased By The Light” presenting Jim Brandenburg’s stunning photography.
