Michael Whitworth sprung into the country scene in 2010 with his first EP, " God Only Knew" – the first single “Just As Surprised As You” was an immediate success. His anticipated sophomore 4-song EP titled, "Learning How To Love" was released that Fall to enthusiastic reviews from critics including Billboard Discoveries. The first single, "Fire Away" and second "Settlin' Down" were immediately well received by Georgia country radio stations and fans.
Heralding from Athens, GA – the town known for launching the careers of hit bands such as Sugarland, Drive-By Truckers, and REM – Michael looks to follow in the footsteps of giants while at the same time take his own path. His sound is fresh and upbeat, fusing optimistic youthfulness with witty wordplay to get feet tapping and hearts melting.
Michael has toured for years with other bands playing different roles and instruments. A jack-of-all-trades, Michael does it all: guitars, bass, keys, drums etc. Along the way, he discovered his own sound and decided he wanted to have more creative input in songwriting, so he set out on his own. He's since found that as an artist he has truly come into his own with this album's release.
“This record was an absolute joy to write and record,” Michael said. “I really just wanted it to be fun and lighthearted, to hopefully communicate the love and laughter that fills my life.”
Combining a devilish charm with infectious lyrics and melodies, Michael Whitworth is poised to become the next major male artist in the country music scene. He is a delight to both the ears and the eyes, ready to break your heart with a smile. |
