Michael Whisler: Press/Reviews

"This unassuming guy walks out on the stage carrying his guitar and you are not sure what to expect. The minute he begins to play you know it's not going to be your average show."

"When you first see Michael Whisler, you expect a fluty, singer-songwriter voice and a meandering melody to come flowing from his fingers. The instant he touches the guitar, that changes. Michael’s bellowing vocals and surprisingly discordant tunes make his performances a spectator sport, rather than an easy listening experience."

"It's a propulsive, aggressive style. He's a rhythmic player. Guitar is the focal point, it has a dirtier, grittier sound"

"...for those who don't know, Michael has fingers of gold!"

"Whisler is a real talent whose work is continually evolving . . .we’ll be hearing a lot more about him.”

"Whisler knows how to generate the power and sonic textures inherent in a 12-string. "Charley's Waltz," is a lovely tune that develops its melody well, revealing a charm that woos the listener. Other interesting songs are the closer, "Stump Grinder," and "In Between the Birch," with its slow whining slide parts painting the picture of what lies just beyond the trees."

“Michael is a great guitar player and his words to his songs, fit the melodies!”
