Michael Hurwitz

Michael Hurwitz 12 2010


Michael is a Wyoming native with a unique style that falls somewhere between the Delta Blues and Western cowboy swing. For over three decades, Mike has rambled the country playing his music. He’s picked with the famous and the unknown, in the spotlight and in the moonlight, worked as a cowboy, broncbuster, 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 songwriting, and a warm relaxed singing style.
