John Michael Joins us on the Artists House Chat

Thanks to everyone who came out to the chat on Wednesday, we had a lot of fun and hope you enjoyed our guest, John Michael Rouchell.  During the chat, we talked about what it means to be an indie musician, music promotion, playing alternative venues, and even got to hear a couple of solo performances from John Michael.

We also got some footage of John Michael’s performance of his song “Thieves” - check it out:

About John Michael:

John Michael is the frontman of the New Orleans based indie act My Name Is John Michael.  Up until this past year, he had been in a number of bands but took somewhat of a back-seat role.  In order to test his chops and hone his skills, he undertook and a song-a-week project in 2008, writing a total of 52 songs.  The end result of that process is their first full length debut, titled “The People That Come and Go,” which will be availible digitally from the band’s website on March 28th.

Be sure to check out the album when it drops, follow John Michael’s tweets, and learn more about the band on their blog.
