Overview

Michael Walker didn’t come from a lineage of musicians. But, his love for the electric guitar has allowed him to embrace the riveting sounds of blues and smooth jazz. Michael was hooked on the guitar by listening to his grandmother’s old blues records, notably the great B.B. King.
When Michael approached 12 years old, his dad bought his son an electric guitar and let him play music with older musicians.
Michael contends this experience allowed him to gain exposure in playing in a real band. Michael now has Three CD's under his belt. "A Smoother You "released in 2013, DayLight released in 2018 and " My Journey " released July 30, 2021. The Single "Music2DriveBY" is climbing the charts.

Michael was Phenomenal!

Mr. Michael Thomas was professional, extremely talented, and arrived early. He exceeded my hopes (which were high) for setting the atmosphere. Highly recommend him!

About

Michael Walker – Guitarist, Michael Walker did not come from a lineage of musicians.
But, his love for the electric guitar has allowed him to embrace the riveting sounds of
blues and smooth jazz. Born in Newport, Ark., Michael was hooked on the guitar by
listening to his grandmother’s old blues records, notably the great B.B. King, and when
Michael approached 12 years old, his dad bought him an electric guitar. Michael's dad allowed him to play with more established players in local clubs.

Michael contends that experience allowed him to gain exposure in playing in a real band.
In 2000 Michael started his own group ( Chill – Factor ) playing local clubs around the DFW
area. In 2013 Michael was signed to the Spectra Jazz label as a solo artist. He delivered
his debut album, “ A Smoother You “ which earned him praise and respect from his peers
in the Jazz world. In July 2018 Michael released his second CD "DayLight."

July 30th 2021 Michael release his third CD “My Journey.” With this album you hear the
growth in songwriting and his riveting guitar skills that highlights his soulful jazzy
melodies threaded within the Five selections. You get a style of music that’s not heard
today, ( Southern Soul Jazz ). Michael’s influences from his guitar idols Mr. George
Benson, Norman Brown and Paul Jackson Jr can be heard on the CD but make no mistake, Michael has his own style. Michael’s Single "Music2DriveBy" continues to climb the charts.
