About

Description
"Somewhere between Lucinda Williams and Shelby Lynne comes Michelle Malone alternating between soulful ballads and rowdy, riffy blasters." - ROLLING STONE

"Her lyrics ripple with Dylanish imagery and a fierce will to survive." - Mademoiselle Magazine

Hands-down best Americana release from a female singer-songwriter." - HARP Magazine

"The kind of singer and songwriter who can jolt things into overdrive." - NEW YORK TIMES


4 out of 5 Bunnies "...Malone churns up those Southern roots with the vigor of Lucinda Williams." PLAYBOY Magazine

"Michelle Malone is as well-rounded as she is supremely talented." -HITTIN' THE NOTE

Malone has become a master at mixing blues and Americana" - GUITAR PLAYER

Michelle Malone was born in the deep south and grew up listening to her mother sing in the church choir every Sunday. When it came time to craft her own sound, she took those religious roots, blended in enough folk, blues and acoustic rock to satisfy, and came up with a rootsy high-spirited sound that brings acoustic slide and passionate vocals together that harkens back to the lost recordings of Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi, and even her friends the Indigo Girls, with whom she has toured, written and recorded for 20+ years.

Malone was most recently on the Grammy ballot, and has won many awards throughout her career including 4 time best album (Atlanta magazine), 2 time best acoustic guitarist (Creative Loafing, IAC), and 5 time female vocalist of the year (Creative Loafing). Malone has also earned critical acclaim on dozens of "Best Of" lists.

Michelle has written, recorded and toured with John Mayer, Indigo Girls and Shawn Mullins, and performed with Shawn Colvin, Joan Baez,Jackson Browne, Marsha Ball, Chris Whitley, Albert King, Johnny Winter, Little Feat

Michelle's Malone’s live show is not to be missed - she can make the biggest venues seem as cozy as a camp fire, and an intimate venue feel like the center of the universe. She is also available for all events including house parties/house concerts - email today - SBSRecords@aol.com - Thank you for your support!

ABOUT ME: I love good music. I love good people. I love good food and great wine. I have lived through addiction and I am no longer over indulgent! I learned to love myself and now i love life, too! OK, I grew up very late in life. Must be a musician thang...I try to always see the glass half full. I think you create your own reality via your thoughts. I've always tried to do the right thing, make organic honest music, and be myself. I have not always succeeded, but I get better at this life thing everyday.I was born and raised in Atlanta by musician parents with whom I toured in the summers. I went to college with dreams of becoming a doctor. Then I got a record deal. All i've done for a living since then is play music. I was on the Grammy ballot recently. I ran the Paris marathon for Leukemia Society. I rode my bike with Team Earth Challenge from Atlanta to Yucca Mountain, NV in protest of the nuclear waste dumping there. Now I just try to recycle and make inspirational music. I live in Decatur, Alabama. It's a beautiful little town! I have 2 cats, an incredible wife, and an amazing life. And now I need some dark chocolate....
