Michael Monagan Variety Band from Culver City, CA

Michael Monagan is a singer/songwriter who has been writing and performing songs that have captured the imagination of music lovers for years. He has gotten accolades from Bob Dylan and Michael Jackson (no kidding). His music incorporates pop, reggae, folk, soul, rock, and Americana. His recent CD "Echo" has been getting great reviews on iTunes and his cover of the R&B classic "O-o-h Child" has had over 10,000 listens on Soundcloud. His approach to writing has been compared to James Taylor, John Mayer, and Jackson Browne. As a writer Monagan had a #3 hit last year with the Kid Cudi song "Girls." Monagan loves performing and can make an audience feel that they've had a personal connection with the music. The themes of his songs are universal to which audiences respond. Over the course of a set songs will start with a few acoustic numbers and end up electric, with a full dance floor. A natural story teller Monagan can enhance an evening of music with tales of inspiration and wonder. Members of the soul/rock band the Wylde Bunch on bass, drums, and keys bring muscle and finesse to the material both as instrumentalists and singers. If you support original music that is creative and compelling and want a unique evening please consider Michael Monagan for your event.
