About Michel
“Songs and stories that dance in your head, heart, and funny bone — and a voice that lifts you with warmth, wit, and wisdom.”
Michel Neray’s songwriting exhibits a depth and intimacy that blends the emotive storytelling of Leonard Cohen with a musical edge that draws inspiration from Americana powerhouses like Jason Isbell.
His voice carries a sincerity that’s both vulnerable and resilient, while never shy to crank out a banger or two.
It's when Michel is on stage that audiences get the full experience of authentic connection to song and story. The overall effect resonates deeply, and lingers in the heart, head, and feet.
From the one-liner that creates the crucible for what's stirring in the pot, or the comic punchline that clears the path to a new thought, or the backstory that allows each audience member to see themselves in the same space, everything is woven together like threads of a fabric that envelops the soul.
As a professional motivational speaker and trainer, Michel has spoken in more than nine countries worldwide and routinely performs his music as part of his keynotes and workshops.
For performing musicians, Michel offers workshops on storytelling and ‘banter’. For corporations and business conferences, Michel consults and delivers keynotes on core messaging and storytelling.

... & Brianna
Individually, Michel and Brianna are consummate entertainers. As a duo, they are 'magical', (in the words of one of our fans!) She is also an accomplished singer-songwriter in her own right with an e.p. on all major streaming platforms. I encourage you to learn more about her at briannagoldberg.com.
Brianna sings harmonies on all the songs of the new album, and brings a multi-dimensional quality to our performance as a duo.
And the banter between them keeps even the most jaded audience engaged!
“Michel and Brianna are a super-talented duo. Their shared enthusiasm for music shone brightly this past weekend at our community event, The Clay and Glass Show and Festival. Michel and Brianna's talent, positivity, musical style and interaction with the audience both young and young at heart created an unforgettable experience. At times, the crowd even joined in, singing along. It was a pleasure having them perform this past weekend and we would invite them back in a heartbeat.”

... & Chris!
Chris Staig adds layers upon layers of musicality when we perform as a trio, with exquisite acoustic fingerpicking, tasteful electric guitar solos, and searing slide guitar. Audiences love how our three very different characters on stage come together as one, adding to a singular experience across multiple dimensions.
Chris is one of the hardest working gigging musicians, supporting multiple other performers all over the city, a full schedule of dates on his calendar, and six albums to his credit. Check him out at chrisstaig.com.
