The Kerrville Wine & Music Festival happens Sept 4th, 5th, & 6th in Kerrville Texas! (FYI - There is both Memorial Day and Labor Day festivals, for over 40 years now. The Memorial Day Festival is 18 days long!). This grandaddy of songwriter festivals features wonderful songwriters and bands from all over the country (and the globe). Michael has been playing it since 1991 as a new-folk competition winner (other past winners include Lyle Lovett and Shawn Colvin). Michael's early years or touring, writing, and recording, may not have happebned without this festival's exposure and artistic encouragement. The campfires & song circles alone are worth the air fare. Mike plays on Saturday Night at 8pm on the Main Stage! (830) 257 - 3600 http://www.kerrville-music.com/
