Nashville sensation MICHELLE MALONE has been called, "Equal parts badass guitar slinger and sweet songstress, with masterful lyrical introspection - sublime to raucous” by Guitar World. Nashville Rage said Michelle, “has the soul of a bluesman, the heart of a folk singer, and the guts of a rock and roll star wrapped up in one fiery bad ass.” Her musical roots run deep and wide like the mighty Mississippi, twisting and turning through rock, blues, and alt-country music territory.Over the course of Malone’s career, she has shared stages with artists from Gregg Allman to Indigo Girls, Sugarland's Kristian Bush to Brandi Carlisle, Mississippi All-Stars Luther Dickenson to ZZ Top. She has released more than a dozen records, and her powerful live show will take you on a journey from red dirt back roads to bright city lights, whether she's solo acoustic in a living room concert or a big arena backed by her band.
