15+ Years Covering Pop, Rock, & Blues throughout Puget Sound

For 16 years, Michelle sang in an 80s rock anthem cover band called Squirrel of Shame, performing all over the Puget Sound area -- at weddings, charity events, bars, and house parties.

In 2014, she played the keyboard and sang harmony vocals with Fey Moth, an electro-pop band based in Seattle. From 2018-2019, she provided lead vocals for the Hurricane Hitch Blues Band, performing all over the Kitsap peninsula, including shows at the Bite of Seattle and Taste of Tacoma. 

Now, without a band for the first time since 2008, she is offering solo musical performances throughout the Pacific Northwest with carefully curated sets of cover songs guaranteed to engage and delight your patrons!

COME TO A SHOW!

Upcoming Events

Want me to play at your venue?

STEP ONE: Submit your event details

Let me know about your event, where it will be, when it's happening, the performance area, and what you want the music to do for your audience (get people dancing, provide a mellow vibe for conversation and dining, sing-along party, etc.)

STEP TWO: Review Performance Details

I'll process your event details submission and respond to you with:

01 | A custom quote based on the length of the event, travel time, and other factors. 

02 | A list of potential songs to customize for your event

03 | Available date and time options

STEP THREE: Confirm & Book

When the details of the gig have been confirmed, lock in the booking with a deposit and Performance Agreement  

I've been wanting to start having live music nights at my venue but I don't think there's enough room. How much space would you need? Do we need to have a sound system?

You'd be surprised how little space it takes to accommodate a solo performer! If you have 5 square feet near an outlet, you've got what I need to perform at your venue. I provide my own digital keyboard, microphone, and amp, so I've got everything needed to fill the room with music without drowning out conversation. If needed, we can always schedule a walk-through to make sure there's sufficient space, or discuss additional equipment needed for larger spaces, before confirming your booking.

How much do you charge for a performance?

I charge $250 for a local 3-hour show, but rates will vary dependsing on several factors, such as how long you want me to perform, travel time to your venue, and overall time required (weddings generally require more time, especially if you want me to play multiple times during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and/or during the reception).

Do you perform for charitable events and fundraisers at a reduced rate/no fee?

Yes! I am happy to support the good work of nonprofits and charitable organizations by performing at fundraising events!

Do you have different set lists for different types of moods/vibes?

I do! Every set list is customizable so that it meets your needs. Whether you want a sing-along party, a get-up-and-dance vibe, or a more mellow and romantic ambiance, I've got you covered. Just specify in your booking form what type of energy you want your event to have, and I'll send you a set list to approve or edit as needed.
