A writer in the respected Allmusic.com once put it this way: "Her singing is like a strong cup of Joe -- it beelines to the gut and jolts the system."

And that's putting it mildly.

Michelle’s music is regularly played on blues radio and internet programs all around the globe and her original music was featured in the HBO series “Mind of the Married Man”, as well as on the House of Blues compilation album Essential Women in the Blues.

 Whether moaning a blues or joyously shouting a jump tune, Michelle and her band have the rare ability to make this music sound fresh and exciting, as well as timeless and classic.
