Americana singer/songwriter Michael Brondstetter grew up in Detroit, Louisville, and New Orleans, always thinking about a music career but discouraged by his father, at least until his parents divorced. He later relocated to southern California, where his gig history includes playing venues ranging from Genghis Cohen and The Bootleg to appearing at Bar 20, The Mint, The Lost Knight, and the Pig N Whistle. His debut solo EP Iron Mountain was released in 2014.
"Everything I see, hear and experience influences my writing," he says. "I guess working in the hospital and dealing with the loss of my wife to cancer [in 2016], has made me more appreciative of life and living it. I believe in living it and enjoying it with the hope of the future to drive us forward. I try and write about the things that we all experience and, despite getting your butt kicked, fighting back and trying to showing the hope in everything we do."
His single "Dark Cloud Blues" was released in January 2017, followed by an EP called Change Your Mind. Within a couple of years, his songs had earned more than one million streams on Spotify.
2020 saw the release of his album Eyes on the Moon, along with singles for "On My Way," "The Other Side," "You Make My Day," and "We'll Walk Away."
A new single, “Sunset Silhouette,” dropped in summer 2021.
