Album Notes

Singer, songwriter, guitarist, pianist, arranger, producer, video artist--Michael Loonan does it all. The musical community has taken serious notice of Loonan's versatility.
His studio work has been compared to Brian Wilson and his musical style brings forth reminders of the Beatles, Squeeze, Graham Nash, Paul Simon and James Taylor.

Michael Loonan is in heavy demand as a performer and producer. He performs at a variety of venues on piano and guitar, as well as with a dance band, 2nd Generation. His easygoing, humorous stage manner, strong original material and solid treatment of standards from the 60's to today attract a loyal following. Michael is well-known for his creation of "the Loony Bin Band" and parody songs for KSTP-AM's 'The Mischke Broadcast,' as well as other special music for The Don Vogel Show. He produced, arranged, sang backup vocals and played several instruments on "The Day Has Come", a spiritual recording with his brother, Patrick Loonan. Michael is a TV/Radio jingle writer, and has composed music for many clients, including 3M, Quaker Oats, the Detroit Tigers, First Choice Health of Charleston, the St. Paul Saints, 3M, and many more. Michael even dons a tuxedo and plays piano professionally for restaurants, meetings, events, etc.

Michael's collaborative CD with his brother Patrick, "The Day Has Come," is a beautiful soul-searching journey, and is also available on CD Baby (www.cdbaby.com/loonan2)
