Michael grew up in Rockville listening to Elvis Presley. When Elvis passed away in 1977, Michael began his "Memories of Elvis" concert as a tribute to the King.
Michael's decision to remember Elvis through his songs has served him well. He has performed with Elvis' backup group, the Jordanaires, Jerry Lee Lewis, Reba McEntire, Charlie Daniels and many more performers. I've heard Michael sing myself, and he has the voice of an angel, especially when he's singing religious hymns.
If you would like to hear Michael perform, the members of Lisbon United Methodist Church welcome you to their service. The church is on Route 144 next to Lisbon Elementary School.
