I am an americana singer/songwriter who writes and performs original songs as well as cover songs to audiences around the country. I mostly fingerpick and utilize a fine tuned sense of dynamics to build and breakdown with the intensity of a full band. I sing as well and demand the audiences attention with each performance.
Michael did an incredible job as the guitar player for our small intimate wedding. From the beginning he was extremely communicative with us and made sure we were on the same page with what songs to play. HIGHLY recommend using him for your wedding or any sort of event. He is very talented and helped create the perfect chill vibe we were looking for! Thank you Michael for making our wedding perfect!
We had a wonderful experience with Michael Corwin. We would certainly recommend him to anyone.
Michael was professional and played beautiful songs for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He was right on time for the start of every song, and sang along to some songs that the words were special, and played beautifully to the others. He was easy to communicate with and I received many compliments on him!
We had a small, outdoor wedding and were really nervous about finding the right musician to fit our vision of low-key, yet beautiful event. Michael was the perfect person! I requested he play only instrumental (guitar and slide guitar) the first hour and singing with guitar the next two hours. The songs he chose were spot-on for the more non-traditional music we like, and he gladly learned (in advance) the songs we requested he play. He was prepared, brought his own tent, which we really appreciated, and a great addition to our day. In fact, many of the guests wanted to hire him for their own events! Highly recommend him.

Michael Corwin is a meticulous songwriter, from Toledo, Ohio. Michael grew up in a diverse musical home, with his mother performing regularly with both bar and swing bands throughout the Midwest. Michael spent his pre-teen years listening to his father’s vinyl and tapes, which inspired him to start learning guitar from his dad. After high school, unsure of his future, Michael spent his days behind a chicken fryer and doing odd jobs to make money. At the age of 21, Michael began touring internationally and continued this for three years. After the demise of his band, his interest in classic artists such as, Steve Earle, Woody Guthrie, Lyle Lovett, and Townes Van Zandt began to influence his own songwriting. His music captures the joys and hardships of the common man, with songs that are relatable, authentic descriptions of life. His songs hold a nice balance of skilled musicianship with enduring melodies that create a brand of narrative country-folk that’s direct, yet poetic. Michael’s first full length album, “Last Cigarette Promises” is now available.
