The Massaro Magic
Michael Massaro is no stranger to the Canadian air waves as he is one of Canada’s premier musicians. His distinctive saxophone recordings have been heard since the eighties with major instrumentals such as ‘Flying Easy’, ‘L.A. Days New York Nights’, and ‘Wings of Glory’. His talents were heard on a Redmond Broadcasting compilation recording with some of Canada’s foremost instrumental performers including David Foster, Liona Boyd, Moe Koffman, Andre Gagnon, and Frank Mills to name only a few. Michael Massaro was thrilled to be included with such a stellar lineup and was humbled when the album was titled after the Massaro hit, ‘Flying Easy’.
He has appeared at Skydome in Toronto performing the national anthems of Canada and the United States before various sports events. His multiple appearances in Toronto have included performing as well as being the musical director for several years for the Italian Song Festival held at Ontario Place. The International airplay he has received has allowed him to travel and perform in such locales as Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, Hong Kong, and Bangkok. Michael also headlined a National tour with four other recording artists playing concerts in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Halifax. He was called upon to perform at the opening of the newest and largest casino in North America, the Niagara Fallsview Casino, has appeared in several TV shows and was in the musical group backing the ‘Canadian Idol’ finalists.
Michael has had four albums; ‘Flying Easy’, ‘Awakening’, ‘It Takes Two’, and ‘For Your Love’. He now is set for his greatest International success with the release of his fifth album entitled, ‘L.A. Days, New York Nights’. The world will now enjoy the musical stylings of a Canadian instrumental superstar in the Northern Lights.
