Male

I'm a touring singer songwriter, 4 CDs out plus a couple limited run tapes, on the club circuit nationally for about 12 years. I'm solo acoustic, play clubs and festivals, have opened for some big acts here and there (Shawn Colvin, Johnny Cash, etc) but mostly I just bump around to any town where a presenter or a small knot of people know my music. I also do Etch A Sketch illustrations of my songs that I sell as prints... (not kidding). I stay busy with a flurry of road trips in Spring or Fall, but I'm actually home a fair amount (I book my own tours, I create whatever schedule I want). Lately, I've put a band together for fun at a couple local shows, sort of an acoustic/americana mix - we're called "Michael McNevin & The Spokes", maybe we'll shorten it to just "The Spokes" if we play around enough. When I'm home I write, record, gig locally, sit in on jams, visit clubs, and see the sights in my own back yard. Grew up in the SF Bay Area, in this small East Bay train town (they do still exist), at the mouth of Niles Canyon, hills of Fremont, moved back to it 5 years ago - Mayberry with a twist. I ride my mountain bike around town and wish it had a basket.
