Behind the Mic: Michael Lee on Touring Life, Music Roots, and Cherishing Family

SkiP HappEns Podcast

When you hear the laughter and stories that come from a life spent on the road, you can't help but lean in a little closer. That's exactly what you'll get when you join me, Skip Clark, as I sit down with the incredible Georgia-native, Michael Lee. Amidst shared remedies for the notorious pollen season and anecdotes of family music heritage, our conversation journeys through the perils and joys of touring life and the drive that keeps a vocal performer's heart beating for the next gig.
It's not all bright lights and applause; there's a kinship that forms when you talk shop with someone who knows the grind of travel and the sweet victory of a sold-out show abroad. In sharing tales from Arkansas to Norway, Michael and I delve into the nuances of the music industry, the evolution of a musician's path, and the candid moments that remind us why a song can feel like coming home. Whether it's about the next project or the resilience of a community in the face of adversity, this chat is sure to hit a chord with music aficionados and casual listeners alike.
To wrap up, we get personal, touching on the profound influence of family and the cherished roles we play offstage. Michael opens up about his love for baseball, the heartfelt work his wife does with individuals with Down syndrome, and the importance of cherishing every moment with loved ones. So, if you’re ready for a dose of heartfelt conversation and insider music talk, you've got a backstage pass to our latest episode. Tune in for the camaraderie, stay for the stories, and perhaps you'll walk away with a new artist to add to your playlist. Good night from Skip Happens, where every chat is a chance to connect with the soulful side of life.
