Say hi to Michael Beach as we welcome him to Feel Presents as booking agents for Australia. The Melbourne based US multi-instrumentalist is a masterful songwriter–he writes songs as seen from 10,000 feet, from 6 feet under–from every angle. For the last decade, Beach has called Melbourne home, a city that knows the power of community–in myriad small venues like The Tote and The Old Bar, in community radio stations like RRR and PBS, in countless independent bands playing all genres every night, untouched by heavy industry. For a living, Beach teaches music (often to folks in those same small bands). He produces, engineers, or performs as a guest musician for friends’ bands (most recently for Tropical Fuck Storm on their forthcoming American musical underground). For years, Beach has been carefully fostering musical connections and with new album Big Black Plume – already an ‘Album of the Week on Triple R’ – we’re here to help capitalise on that. Hear Big Black Plume here and keep and eye out for upcoming shows.
