He's back!!! ❤❤❤ It's sweet to reunite with my bro @alexbrinkworth for the first time in a year and a half! No words can really describe how much of a joy it is to have him back over here (and I'm sure those who know him are feeling the same), so yeah, I'll just make of point of noting that I convincingly won the first ping pong battle - he only needed to be severely jetlagged for me to pull it off (hope it's not my last!) 🤣🤣🤣... Looking forward to properly catching up and having some summer adventures, but first I'm off to Thuringen for a long weekend to learn the ropes for a new summer gig. It'll be great to finally be properly out of Berlin and in nature for the first time in about a year and a half too 🤯😊 The album's been out for close to a month now. It's still linked in my bio where you can listen to it, share it or even buy it digitally or on CD 🥰 Got some big gig announcements next week! Stay tuned 😘😘😘... . . . . . . . . #hesback #thereunion #brothers #jetlagged #jetlaggedasfuck #rougharoundtheedges #mylittlebrother #brothersreunited #reunited #itsbeenawhile #longtimecoming #newalbum #summergig #gigannouncements #nextweek #hawaiinshirt #matchingshirts #newenergy #summerishere 
Not posing at all 🤣... Summer's here! 😎 Thanks for the sweet snaps @byt_photograph 🥰🥰🥰 I've let go of the album and I'm gonna start planning the recording of the next one (in a VERY relaxed way) this summer - the album is linked in my bio whenever you wanna give it a listen and just get in touch if you'd like to buy a copy 🥰 This was taken at a sweet @thefamousgoldwatch Records collective meeting on head honcho @laing.cameron 's boat the other day, with 11 of us crammed on there going for our maiden voyage together! We discussed some very special summer gig plans with the collective, so stay tuned for announcements soon 😘 I'm gonna play a busking jam set with my mates (aka The Almost Has-Beens 🤣) at Treptower Island tomorrow too if you wanna come down for a picnic and some live music. We'll kick off at 5pm and go into the night - check my stories for the location... Hope you're enjoying the summer weather! Lottsa love, Michael ❤ . . . . Ps. Big show annoucement coming on Friday! . . . . . . . . #obligatoryshot #startofsummer #summerishere #myheartwillgoon #sunsetphotography #sunset #sunsetonthewater #sunsetonthelake #boatlife #sunsetontheboat #poser #posingshot #awkwardposer #summersunset #berlinsunset #sunsetreflections #famousgoldwatchrecords #berlinfolk #summervibes #summerlook #hawaiinshirt #shirtandshortsweather #chillingonaboat #berlinsummer #berlinsummernights #summernights #summertime #summershows #showannouncement 
Got my start on sax apparently 🤣🤣🤣... The album's been out for 2 weeks now - linked in my bio. Thanks for listening to it and sharing it around! 🥰🥰🥰 If you're in Berlin and want a personally delivered hard copy or if you're anywhere else and want one in the mail, just DM me. 😘😘😘 ...and did you know...gigs are back! 🤯🤯🤯... I'm playing the very first feature set back after 8 months of lockdown at @openmicsundaykindl on Sunday night - looking forward to playing and catching up with everyone! Turn up at 7pm and make sure to get tested before and bring a mask. Also, @spacesessionsberlin is back on tonight at Space Meduza! I'll play a couple down there too, along with a great line-up. Same deal, turn up tested with a mask around 7ish - can't wait! I might also be out busking today and/or tomorrow too - check my stories for an update on that.. Have a great start of summer weekend!

Got new album, got band, need gigs! 🤣.. If you have any leads on gigs as things start to open up again, open airs/festivals over this summer and beyond, and into 2022, venues etc, solo, trio, band, whatever suits, please hit me up! I'm finally getting my fire back, eager to play again and tour the new album around. 🔥🔥🔥 The album's linked in my bio, and here's the current band line-up. Left to right: @pii_napples @frankitrom @timgranbacka @kaythemuso @axeneighlou I've been in my own world and we haven't played or hung out in ages, but I'm looking forward to reconnect with everyone this summer and work on the decent batch of songs I've written over the last year or so - it's gonna be one hell of a reunion show when it happens! 🥰🥰🥰 These brilliant photos were captured by @magdalenakuch - she's a great photographer - look her up! Ps. There will eventually be a proper album release show too, but I won't announce it, until I know 100% that there's no chance of postponement etc... Last month definitely felt like a bit of a final test after this crazy time. Now I'm feeling the start of the month and summer vibes, hope you are too, things are turning around - getting back out there with my new album in tow - linked in my bio! Have a great week!

Meditation 💫🤣.. My new album, 'Wasted Wonder', is a week old today 🥰 Click the link in my bio to listen, share and/or order it... For the full effect, it's best enjoyed in one sitting I reckon, like a record 📀 What's your favourite track??? This is another awesome photo by @denise.franziska.amanda - blown away by this close-up - thank you! ❤ Keep spinning and sharing the album and have a great weekend!

Thanks for the great response to the new album "Wasted Wonder" so far - listen and share at the link in my bio! 😘 Also, DM if you'd like to buy a hard copy 🥰.. Here's a few sweet album reviews too from @gaesteliste.de , Musikreviews.de and my favourite from @folkradiouk written by @severynserika - read the full review on their website, it's a beauty! That new band snap was taken by @magdalenakuch too. Just heard there's a few more coming in soon too, will keep you posted.. Been loving your personal messages about the album too. It didn't rain this evening, so I'm going to postpone the Facebook livestream to Thursday at 7:30pm CEST Berlin time. Expect a stripped down set of the album in full, plus a bunch of Dylan songs as a belated birthday celebration to the songwriting legend. See you then ❤ If you're into the album, please share it around with folks you reckon will be into it too, link's in the bio, cheers! 🥰 . . . . . . . . #albumreviews #thereviewsarein #newalbum #wastedwonder #folkradiouk #gaesteliste #musikreviews #musikreviewsde #glowingreviews #berlinfolk #berlinbusker #berlinsingersongwriter #australiansingersongwriter #altcountrymusic #altfolkmusic #americanamusic #rootsmusic #troubadour #troubadourlife #theband #bandphoto #100kstreams #goodstart #offtoagoodstart #livestreamconcert #berlin 
Thanks for the great response to my new album over the weekend - it just cracked 100k streams! Listen at the link in my bio 😘... Been listening to and playing some Bob Dylan songs today for the songwriting legend's 80th birthday. His work's inspiration to songwriters the world over for decades is undeniable and will go on to be infinite. Thanks for the songs as always Bob, may you stay forever young 😎 I'll play a mammoth facebook live stream set tomorrow evening (if it rains) at 8pm, playing my album as it's sequenced and some favourite Dylan songs - will keep you posted 😘 In the meantime, you can listen to my new album at the link in my bio ❤ Hope you've a great sunny long weekend! 🥰🥰🥰 . . . . . #bobdylan #80thbirthday #foreveryoung #planetwaves #bobdylancover #shortclip #rougharoundtheedges #shadesinthesun #balconyjam #morningvoice #newalbum #wastedwonder #outnow #bobdylanforeveryoung #bobdylanforever #bobdylanbirthday #tributecover #tributeconcert #acousticcover #strippeddown #berlinfolk #berlinsingersongwriter #australiansingersongwriter #berlin #summervibes #summertime #100kstreams #sunnyvibes #startofsummer 
Have you listened to the new album yet? 🧐 Link's in my bio 😘.. Thanks so much for the great response to "Wasted Wonder" so far, all your sweet messages and for sharing it around - it really means a lot to me 🥰... Keep listening, sharing and get in touch if you'd like to buy a hard-copy ❤ This album release was a big deal, as it started being made over 3 years ago (after I abandoned the album recording attempt in a cabin in northwest Finland before that, to be released as 'The Attic Tapes' one day when I'm almost a has-been, but that's another story 🤣).. Numerous tours in Europe, Australia and lots of gigging and busking was needed to get the funds together to record, mix, master and get this album out, and if that didn't cause enough delay, the pandemic certainly did! Even though it'll still be a while before I can put on a big release show with my band to properly celebrate, I decided it was time to finally let go of this weight of songs that I've had on my back for a good while now. I'm glad Wasted Wonder is out there in its full track sequence, as I'd always intended it. I'm glad to finally let these songs go, so now they can have a life of their own (with you) and I can revisit them like good old memories rather than unfinished business. I'm still processing but very grateful for everything I learnt from making this. The first photo is another analogue classic from @paultobinphotography The second brilliant photo was the band line-up as on the record, taken by @helenmhecker not long before we started the recording process. Not only are my bandmates all crazy talented musicians who played beautifully on the record, they also really invested in the songs, often helping shape arrangements, making them more memorable, and they believed in the making of this album from day one, for the love of the music (even though I ain't selling out concert halls just yet! 🤣) - I simply couldn't have done it without them! Thanks guys, love yas all ❤❤❤ Ps. I know I'm an album guy living in a singles world, but I still recommend listening to the album in its entirety when you have a moment. Go on, make a tea! Have a lazy Sunday with it! 😘😘😘 . #theband #newalbum
