MICHAEL GAY

With a deep appreciation for the songwriting greats of his father’s generation, drummer-turned-guitarist Michael Gay has set out to leave his own mark with Almighty American. “I’ve learned a lot about empathy through songwriting. I try to do the story justice and not always go for the easy rhyme.” His approach to songwriting pairs with a classic Americana sensibility and feel to breed earnest songs with melodies that stick with the listener.

EARLY EYES

Foxy. Funky. An all-around good time. The young lads of Early Eyes launched their Indie-pop band in 2016 on a Minneapolis college campus with a pop-up show “for fun” and have not looked back. Their captivating sound is soulful and catchy well beyond their years.

These Minneapolis-based darlings have quickly established themselves in the Twin Cities and the upper Midwest markets being recognized as one of “The 2017 Best New Bands ”
performing at First Avenue, Mpls. Their single “Coffee” was awarded top music video along with a nomination for the 2017 Best New Bands from City Pages, Minneapolis.

Since their 2016 DIY EP Release of ‘Minutes’ Early Eyes just released a new EP called “Decorating” featuring the lead track “Penelope” with an elaborate and fun new vid to accompany as an homage to 90s TV series “Goosebumps”.
