It’s 10 p.m. when you finally make it to the venue. Through the smoky haze you see scattered groups of people, some crowded around tables, some standing in pairs. The room is dim except for the small stage in the corner, where a lone figure is sitting. Bathed in the light of candles and a dim spot, he flashes a smile while finishing the tuning of his guitar. He sits alone yet seems somehow integrated into the crowd, the room, the space.

Then the journey begins. It is a simple sound: one acoustic guitar, one voice. Yet they come together to express, convey, the emotions we all hold in common. Emotions play out across Michael’s face as he performs… emotions that are mirrored throughout the room.
