MYCHAEL GABRIEL
What makes a performer a star? Musical chops, charisma, dance moves, and a terrific singing voice? All of that helps, but a true musician knows that the picture isn't complete without the passion and understanding of music history. Mychael Gabriel has it all down pat. As the musical collaborator and lead guitarist for the legendary percussionist Sheila E., his performance skills and stage presence are beyond argument.
Just in case you're wondering whether he's got that out of the box creativity, he's brought along his vivid imagination for his single "Ghost In The Midnight," and a more intimate look into humility, humanity, and the naked truth for his single “Honesty.”
The funk-rock singer-songwriter performs right in a series of outrageous outfits for “Ghost In The Midnight,” all of which he pulls off with style and flare. Hanging behind him are garment racks with a number of nostalgic outfits connected to his musical upbringing.
"Honesty" is both a continuation and a refinement of the musical ideas MG introduced on the propulsive "Ghost In The Midnight.” "Honesty" retains the dizzy rush of its predecessor but turns up the slow burn. Mychael Gabriel has something to say about candor, and urgency, and the interaction between forthrightness and fantasy. Because he's a skilled composer, the song builds from a slow, amorphous groove to a magnetic chorus. Because he's an incendiary musician, he caps the song with a lightning flash of a guitar solo.
All of which - written, performed, produced, engineered, mix and mastered by Mychael Gabriel himself. The saga known as the Minneapolis Sound continues...
