Michael McPherson |
Michael McPherson has been involved in many musical projects over the years as a songwriter, performer and recording artist and has also made his mark in the music industry as the owner and operator of various record labels, publishing companies, production companies and music retail, wholesale and distribution companies. A versatile musician, he plays several instruments including the guitar, bass, mandolin, and keyboards. Michael's musical heritage originates in southeast Missouri where he first learned to play the guitar at age 12. He went on to play guitar, bass, and keyboards in a number of Midwestern rock bands throughout his high school and college years. After graduating from the University Of Missouri in 1979 with a bachelor of science degree in Electrical Engineering, he moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where he played local clubs as a solo acoustic act throughout the early and mid-80's, refining his performing and songwriting skills. He moved to the Boulder, Colorado area in 1986 where he fronted several rock/blues bands and continued to write and perform as a solo artist. In 1995 he hired Bobby Barth as producer and recorded and released an album of original material titled "Don't Look Back". Ultimately Barth and McPherson formed a business partnership, built a recording studio and launched N.E.H. Records. From 1996 through 2002 their record company generated close to two dozen albums for several bands including Axe, Caught In The Act (CITA), Guild Of Ages, Jaded Heart, The Red Rock Roosters and Wishdoctor. In 2002, Barth and McPherson dissolved their business partnership so Barth could move to New Orleans. McPherson focussed his efforts on music distrubution and internet-based music retailing. Under McPherson's managment, the N.E.H. Records company grew and prospered to become the leading online ecommerce site for AOR and Melodic Rock music in North America. Michael is now fully absorbed in managing N.E.H. Records but continues to play and record music in a digital recording studio he built in his home in Niwot, CO.
