MICHAEL TOLCHER
 
 
A gifted artist in every sense of the word - writer, singer, musician and performer - Michael Tolcher deftly blends unfailing melodic and organic pop sensibilities with a deep understanding of soul, R&B and urban grooves drawn from his Southern upbringing. His debut album, I Am, is an inspired collection of songs and melodies that muse on life, love and social consciousness.
In Michael’s words, “There's a side of me that I want you to see. That's what the record is about. Uncovering and Revealing. I attempt to open my personal experiences into human experiences making what I am a reflection of what you are. If I'm successful, then I become a single voice of the hearts and minds of many. That is the magic of artful expression. When it's real, it's felt both by the expressers and the witnesses. I wanted the record to tickle the ears, vibrate the hips and stimulate the mind. My formula is ancient and simple: Melody + rhythm + meaning = song.” Go to michaeltolcher.com and click on "Biography" to view the entire story of this exceptional artist! (this entire excerpt taken from www.michaeltolcher.com).
Michael has endeavered to spread his message in all avenues, from singing in clubs, prisons, human and natural disaster relief benefits, and festivals to television as well. His song Sooner Or Later is the theme song for an ABC series called Life As We Know It (LAWKI), and he has made guest appearances on NBC's American Dreams, as well as appearances on the Jimmy Kimmel Show and Last Call with Carson Daly.
His strong Christian upbringing in Georgia, his mentoring from Dr. Mutulu Shakur (Tupac's father), and introspective enlightenment from the study of Buddhism, meditation, and Native American philosophies as well as his love of music as an art form and a vessel and finally coupled with his tremendous singer-songwriter-performer skills are going to send Michael to the top! So be sure to "Catch That Train"!
I know I had the pleasure of experiencing this artist for the first time while on the Rock Boat 2004 and I was blown away. You can hear the set I recorded from that show right here on HollowRadio, and there are many other things to experience by going to MichaelTolcher.com as well, so go there now!
