About Me
“Lyrically driven and melodically focused,” Michael Krejci is a singer-songwriter on the rise. He writes about the simplicity of the rain and the complexity of love, intricately woven together to reflect his small town Indiana upbringing. Michael’s introspective songs and raw vocals have been compared to the likes of Bruce Robison, Radney Foster and Gordon Lightfoot. As a versatile songwriter, he writes from the heart, not to satisfy a specific genre, but to satisfy those who take his music for what it is, honest and genuine. Since relocating to Nashville in the summer of 2002, Michael has been writing vigorously in preparation for his highly anticipated debut release, entitled, "Out of the Blue" (released January of 2007). A blend of country, folk, bluegrass and roots styles, Out of the Blue is a tasteful mix of tunes that transcends genres, complementing Michael’s open minded musical spirit. Such mass appeal is evident by the diverse cast of musicians chosen to contribute to the project, including guest appearances by guitar slinger, Eric Heatherly, as well as The Stringdusters’ Jeremy Garrett and Andy Hall, among others. Ten of the eleven tracks are original tunes and there is something for everyone on Out of the Blue . . . it is a “melodic adventure that sifts its way through the ups and downs of everyday life, a soothing and refreshing collection of songs.” Some of Michael’s career highlights thus far include opening for acoustic sensation, Lucy Kaplansky, bluegrass acts Special Consensus and Bottomline, performing at Nashville’s legendary Bluebird Café, the prestigious Americana Folk Festival (Patty Griffin/Mindy Smith), and getting to record with an array of top musicians who play with the likes of George Strait, Lee Ann Womack, Keith Anderson, Julie Roberts, Pam Tillis and Patty Loveless. In addition to performing in Nashville, Michael plays regularly throughout the Midwest to an ever-widening fan base. Whether you're listening to him perform solo-acoustic or with a band, you can't help but sit back, tap your foot, and get lost in the music.
