Hays Public Library

Contemporary traditional guitarist Dorian Michael will play at the Hays Public Library at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 4 in the Schmidt Gallery. The live music performance is free and open to the public.

Michael has been a working guitarist for four decades and enjoys playing a wide variety of music. From blues to rock ’n’ roll, Michael has played it all. He considers his solo style to be traditional contemporary; his music and guitar playing is inspired by his musical interest across various genres. With musical surprises and unique style, Michael will delight the HPL audience.

“Some music makes you feel, some makes you think and some music is just for the fun of it. I try to get to all those places in the space of a performance” Michael said.

Not only has Michael created a solo career, but frequently plays with various bands. Michael regularly performs with The Irene Cathaway Rhythm and Blues Band, The Mystery Trees, The Cinders Blues Band, and Kenny & Dorian.

Michael has also written two books about alternate guitar tunings for Centerstream Publications. He has also filmed three guitar finger style instruction videos for Centerstream.
