Details:
MICHAEL HEYMAN was born in Galveston, Texas and raised in Houston. From 1983-88, Michael fronted a series of blues outfits in the U.S.A. and Europe. As a result of concerts with artists such as Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, John Mayall''s Bluesbreakers, Albert Collins, James Cotton, Eric Burdon, Pat Travers, Alvin Lee, Leslie West, Nils Lofgren, Nick Lowe, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Omar & the Howlers and Marcia Ball, he earned a reputation in both blues and rock circles as an exciting and dynamic artist in the long Texas tradition of guitarists fronting blues trios. Other highlights of this period were his associations with blues great Joe "Guitar" Hughes and with noted British musicians Ronnie Lane and Ian McLagan for the highly successful "RONNIE LANE APPEAL FOR A.R.M.S." concert in Houston. Michael also had the honor of participating in an all-star jazz/blues concert with legendary saxophonist Arnett Cobb and being selected to represent Texas rhythm & blues at the Willie Nelson/Wrangler Jeans Invitational in Austin, Texas.
Upon returning to the United States in 1988, Michael retired from full-time performing to spend time with his family. In early 2003, he returned to the stage fronting a series of blues outfits and in the autumn of 2004 began recording the tracks for his debut CD. "Heart Full of Blues" features eight original tracks as well as covers of "Three Hours Past Midnight" by Johnny "Guitar" Watson, "My Sweet Little Honey Dripper" by Jimmy "T-99" Nelson and the instrumental guitar showcase "Steppin'' Out" by James Bracken. In addition to guitar artistry reminiscent of the early work of T-Bone Walker, B.B. King, Freddie King, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton and Mick Taylor, "Heart Full of Blues" features guest performances by internationally acclaimed harmonica virtuoso Sonny Boy Terry, Houston''s First Lady of Soul Trudy Lynn and the incomparable Tommie Lee Bradley. Michael will also be a featured artist together with the legendary Johnny Winter at the upcoming Guitarslingers Ball in Houston.
"Heart Full of Blues" is garnering rave reviews in blues circles throughout the United States as well as in the Virgin Islands, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Poland, the Republic of Croatia, Japan, Colombia and Argentina. "If You See My Baby" is currently #2 on the https://www.tradebit.com blues chart.
