Michael Monroe…Live At The Cedar was an ambitious undertaking for me. I challenged myself to get everything right the first time, from performing all of the songs the way I wanted them to sound, to having a glitch-free night with a responsive crowd. I was pleased that I played with energy and enthusiasm and had lots of help with the rest! The crowd was awesome, Eric the sound man did a great job, Scott Malchow ran the recording gear flawlessly and contributed microphones and lots of other … [Read more...]
