Michelle Malone with Mike Kinnebrew at The Grey Eagle
Aug 8 @ 8:00 pm – 11:00 pm
The Grey Eagle

Don’t miss Rock Goddess Michelle Malone with special guest Mike Kinnebrew August 8 at The Grey Eagle at 8pm!

Michelle Malone’s musical roots run deep and wide like the mighty Mississippi river, twisting and turning through southern rock, folk and country blues territories. Her powerful live show will take you on a journey from dirty back roads of the deep slow south to frantic bright city lights. Michelle “has the soul of a blues man, the heart of a folk singer, and the guts of a rock and roll star wrapped up in one fiery bad ass” (NASHVILLE RAGE), and she’s “uniquely able to blow the roof off the place then turn right around and whisper a soft song that will break your damn heart” (PASTE) Her live show is refreshingly engaging, authentic and joyful!

Singer-songwriter Mike Kinnebrew’s innovative soulful, indie-inflected take on the folk and Americana sound has earned him the hearts of a diverse and growing fanbase across the world over 25 years and counting. After spending most of 2023 in the studio, Mike is preparing for a big year ahead with a full-length album release slated for spring 2024, in collaboration with Nashville Grammy winners Charlie Lowell and Matt Odmark.
