Michael Menager is a California born, Americana Troubadour who for more than two decades has made his home in Tantawangalo, NSW. Michael’s third collaboration, Line In The Water, with local music legend Heath Cullen, has featured on the AMRAP Regional Chart and has debuted on the EuroAmericana Chart, July 2024 edition. The Michael Menager Trio, featuring Sats Kramer (Kara Coen Band) on guitar, Dan Efraemson (Malumba) on violin, regularly perform in venues around the Far South Coast. The 2025 Festival line-up includes Ashley Welsh-Jones on percussion and Myoung Jae Yi on bass to frame and complement an array of songs composed by … “a thoughtful observer of human existence … whose music magnetically invites you to think for yourself.” Wolfgang Reitzammer / Cool Tourist – Germany
Michael’s lyrics cut along a philosophical edge, his style cuts across the musical spectrum from blues and swing to country and early rock n’roll, and his stories cut through the inner landscape of a poet and traveller.
