J. Michael Haithcock

I'll arrive early to set up. I will be setting up my own sound system and playing my own background music.
I can play for an hour or up to three with breaks depending on your needs.

I am a singer. Singing songs of yesterday. I'll take you on a musical journey featuring the songs of Nate King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Mel Torme, Frank Sinatra and their contemporaries.

When a singer brings a lyric to life, we typically call the process "interpretation". I try to sing every note and every emotion to extract the most believability out of the text, to tell a story in the most expressive way possible. I try to pick a song I can feel and understand, so when I sing I have some credibility.

The majority of the music on my channel are "standards" and "theatre" songs. The era that spawned the songs I sing are no more. I'm a two hundred million-year-old dinosaur loose in the twenty first century.

I can perform indoors or outdoors. I will need an electrical outlet.
