Michael Dyer: Home
Welcome to my web site! I'm a singer/songwriter who composes melodic soft-rock, folk-rock, light blues, and adult alternative songs. My songs are usually about love and relationships but some are about search for self-enlightenment, war, youth vs. old age, life/death, and the environment.
In addition to the vocals, my song arrangements usually contain dual-guitar leads, guitar rhythm and picking, some keyboard, bass and percussion. My recent blues CDs also feature harmonica.
Look at Photos and you will see the covers of my 8 CDs: Blues Brulee, Blues Souffle, Christmas Comes Just Once A Year, Nothing Seems Like What It Seems, Our Unwinding Time, Aboriginal Angel, Compli-intricated Life and Butterfly's Release, along with their release dates. There is also the music score for an instrumental solo-guitar piece that I composed, titled "Hummingbird in Flight".
In the Music area, you can hear a 2 to 3-minute samples of each song (for all 8 CDs). Click on any song title to see its lyrics. (To hide the current lyrics and see another song's lyrics, first click the back-page arrow of your web browser.) This area also contains my current performance of the instrumental piece: "Hummingbird in Flight". There is also a 1-hour radio special, which contains an interview of me along with various songs played from my CD: Aboriginal Angel.
If you want to give me feedback on my music or lyrics, then to email me directly, please go to the Contact area. If you decide that you want to purchase a physical CD or individual mpeg song (via CDBaby.com) or download an individual song then go to the Buy area for more information.
To see other sites, where full-length versions of my songs are available for streaming, please go to Links.
If you are a singer/songwriter, take a look at the articles I have written (about pitfalls when making music within the rock genre and about blues) on my blog.
Finally, the News area has a bit of news. Let me know what you think of my songs! Thanks!
Michael
P.s. I also do Venetian-style glass-blowing as a hobby. Some of my glass creations appear on the covers of my first 3 CDs. If you want to see more of my glass, click on the link titled: "Some of my glass-blown creations"
