Michael Goldsmith Band

Alabama Americana

Hailing from Huntsville, Michael Goldsmith has spent decades crafting the kind of raw, soulful folk-rock that blends barroom singalongs with back-porch storytelling. Now backed by a powerhouse band of twangy Americana players, his sound has evolved into something that can only be called “Alabama Americana”—energetic, gritty, and steeped in Southern spirit.


His new record , Buzzard's Shadow, will drop on February 12. Recorded, mixed, and mastered in Huntsville, it is a powerful collection of raspy folk-rock songs that feel a little like a dive bar singalong—and a little like you snuck a beer into church.
 

The Michael Goldsmith Band features: Chris Cook: Rhythm Guitar & Vocals • Hunter Copeland: Electric Guitars • Gus Goldsmith: Drums • Steven Jackson: Bass • Michael Goldsmith: Acoustic Guitar & Vocals

Press / Reviews

“The Michael Goldsmith Band is a songwriting smorgasbord. Having multiple monsters of songwriters in the band, make them a band not to miss and they are unique in their own alt-country-esque box. Besides having veteran instrumentalists, the harmonies between Michael and Chris are as pure and heavy as if they were blood brothers. The music community of Huntsville is a better place with the MGB in it! ”

— Evan Billiter: Manager/Owner, Tip Top Cafe

“The Michael Goldsmith Band slaps! Pass it on!”

— Katy Ganoway: WLRH, Arts Underground

“Spending an hour with the Michael Goldsmith Band feels like taking a trip back to my familiar Southern roots, buoyed by soulful lyrics, confident harmonies, and a sound that boasts tons of emotion.  The MGB plays with an easy natural synchronicity, trading musical moments that feel genuine and land with a truthful warmth, straight from the heart.”

— Dorrie Nutt: WLRH Huntsville Public Radio

“The Michael Goldsmith Band is one of the best hidden gems in the Huntsville Music community. Their musical connection is truly undeniable. ”

— Dennis Keim: Photographer Princess Theater /Microwave Dave Foundation/Three Caves Concert Series
