Heroes Del Silencio El Espiritu Del Vino CD

A native of the Northern California, Micah has been writing and playing music since the age of 14. It was while a summer student at the Berklee School Of Music that he made a life long commitment to writing and performing his music. In 2003, desiring to be in the mecca of the music industry and yet at the same time expand his formal education, Micah enrolled at CSU Northridge. Once there, Micah dedicated the next few years to achieving a degree in political science and had also successfully co-produced and recorded his first album All That It Is. Though his experience in Los Angeles taught him a great deal about the music industry he desired to expand his musical horizons in a new direction with new venues so he was led in 2006 to move back to the bay area.

Micah's first CD, All That It Is, intertwines progressive rock blues melodies with acoustic and electric guitars. His strong vocals and purposeful lyrics surround social, political and religious issues.

'Earthy. That's the word that keeps coming to mind as I explore the music made by Micah Anderson. It has the rich texture of fertile soil. It has roots that stretch deep into the ground of musical influence. And it has the bright vividness of colors and smells and sensations that can only be found in nature. It is down-to-earth; earthy.

The detailed riffs of Anderson's guitar, the long pull on his harmonica ! these things make you feel like the heat of the Earth's core is coming up through the land and warming your heart. You can put your ear to the ground of his music and sense the vibrations of an oncoming audio train. You can lift your chin to the heights that he reaches as the instrumentals climax and feel the slight wind of their melody there.
