Hello, music lovers!
Welcome to Why Music Matters, a podcast where we examine the power and influence that music can wield in our lives.
I’m your host, Jeff Miers.
Today, I’m pleased to welcome a young singer, songwriter, and guitarist who has been making devoted fans of original music connoisseurs in Western New York over the past few years - including yours truly.
Michael Delano may be young in the chronological sense, but one listen to his singing, his songwriting, and his elegant use of sophisticated open guitar tunings makes it plan that he’s an old soul.
I’ve come to know Michael through his work with the bands 77 Stone, Sunday Reign and Five Round Bout, all unique projects that pushed the envelope of modern alternative rock music. Lately, Michael has been stretching his wings, sitting in with various regional bands and artists, performing solo gigs, and working on new material.
Our chat covered a lot of ground, including music’s therapeutic role in Michael’s own life, his ongoing quest to fine-tune his vision as a songwriter, and his enduring belief that “art is everything, and everything is art.”
Welcome to Why Music Matters, Michael Delano!
