Michael Hearne

It's hard to describe just how good Michael Hearne really is. His guitar work, singing and songwriting are really superb. Michael Hearne is probably the best example of 'The Southwest Sound'. Michael is also probably the best Country musician who doesn't have a major label recording and touring contract.

Over the past several years, Michael Hearne and South by Southwest have created a new and unique kind of music. “Southwestern Americana” as Michael calls it “Songs about the southwest with an acoustic feel”. Michael Hearne’s incredibly smooth voice and amazing acoustic guitar style combined with Carmen Acciaioli’s musical mastery of the steel guitar, fiddle, mandolin, dobro, and hammered dulcimer, with the extremely talented Zeke Severenson on stand up and electric bass and you have what people all over the Southwest and beyond call their favorite band.
