Michael Hurwitz
"Ghost Ranch", Michael Hurwitz
Michael Hurwitz is a Wyoming based singer-sonwriter with a captivating style that is anchored in a broad spectrum of Americana roots.
With high plains ranching roots going back four generations, Mike started cowboyin' at an early age. Long days in the saddle, haying, branding calves and fixing fence taught him the value of hard work, good horses and friends, and a love for the land and its history.
When he picked up the guitar at 13, Mike learned the old cowboy songs his Dad sang, and the southern country blues from his Mississippi Mother, incorporating them and other styles into the musical gumbo he calls Prairie Blues.
Mike has rambled the country for over three decades absorbing many of the regional styles played in the different parts of the country that he has traveled. He’s picked with the famous and the unknown, in the spotlight and in the moonlight, worked as a cowboy, broncobuster, dude-wrangler, hunting guide, carpenter, and surveyor, written a saddlebag full of great songs, and released several critically acclaimed albums of country blues and cowboy music. His performances are a compelling mix of stories and humor from a life well spent, combined with outstanding musicianship and song writing, and a warm relaxed singing style.
Mike is interested in booking a tour of California. Contact Big Hat Promotions for booking information and availability.
