J. Micheal Laferty

Micheal calls South Padre Island Texas home. With 6 CD’s under his belt on Umpqua Records, Micheal’s music and lyrics are a reflection of his island lifestyle, tropical surroundings and the myriad of intriguing characters that inhabit the Tropical Tip of Texas. An experienced and talented entertainer, his performances are often compared with such notables as Robert Earl Keen, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Guy Clark, Lyle Lovett, Jerry Jeff Walker and Jimmy Buffett. Micheal’s shows are characteristically delivered with a sly smile, a wicked wit and banter that immediately engage the audience with lyrical takes that weave seamlessly in and out of every facet of human emotion. His full schedule of daily apperarances on the resort destination of South Padre Island, selective Festival and House Concert appearances, national radio airplay on terrestrial mainstream stations and internet/satellite radio have all combined to firmly defined Micheal as a benchmark Artist in the Americana/TropRock/Texas Music Market
