QUOTES:
"Some say that traveling by night is like thought itself, and something like that happened to me listening to Michael Shay, carried by a mood of introspection. It seemed the goal was about finding the "something" that unifies diverse genres, and his music achieves this very well.

“Being in Austin and hearing so many musicians is always a privilege, but honestly sometimes it all begins to sound the same as all the other bands playing in that particular genre.

He really does step out of the box in that regard- of NOT being able to categorize his music as 'this' or 'that.'”
