FEATURE: Zander Michigan

Zander Michigan is a folk/blues singer songrwriter from Detroit, MI. Zander is a multi-talented man, playing guitar, harmonica and even the fool on special ocasions. With a vocal sound inspired by Bob Dylan, heavy strums and cheeky lyrics makes him a classic sounding musician in a time of futuristic banter.

His Debut album, Zander The Great, released in March of 2015, has the power of all Greek Gods behind it. He has gone to long lengths in making his debut album a large production by not only using his harmonica and acoustic guitar, but also including drums, piano and electric guitar parts, on top of his characteristic howling vocals. With tracks titled 'The Great' and 'Bathtub Gin', the album sets the tone for an in-your-face, no cares given experience that everyone can get excited about.

He decided to include a full band to add some depth to his music. He felt that the stripped versions of his songs didn’t have the same bite that he wanted.

What RattleMag think: Zander Michigan combines his folk/blues styled sound with his punk styled lyricing to create a well presented up-beat sound, something he does extremely well.

Rattle rating: 9/10
