Michael Anderson

The pandemic provided Michael with the opportunity to dig through a treasure trove of great songs he's written over the last 25 years and produce three brand new albums. These albums feature the incredible talents of a host of musicians: Lawrence Busey and Willie Chambers of Greater Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church (vocals), Taras Produniuk (bass), Jimmy Z (harmonica), Jessica Burch, David Raven, Jim Doyle and Mike Bailey (drums), Maxi Anderson and Soraiya Campbell (vocals), Carl Byron (keys & co-writer of "Lord I Need You Now"), and Jake Labotz (guitar & co-writer of "Decision Time").  

The albums are called Deluxe (old school rock 'n roll), Hard Time Gospel, and Living Water (sweet gospel songs). Go to the Music page to listen.

Join Michael in the park for a free show on Nov 11th from 5-6pm at 600 Church St, Nashville, TN 37219. Michael will be performing with his wife and co-writer Soraiya Campbell. They'll be playing music from their 2020 album Hard Redemption, as well as old hits and new unreleased songs.
