Roe
(The 77’s, The Lost Dogs) is an autumnal, bluesy, introspective kind of
guy who is a master on any guitar put in his hands. Vocally and
stylistically he spans the years from Blind Willy Johnson, to Chuck
Berry, to Elvis Presley, to Johnny Cash, to Neil Young, to Art
Garfunkel. Roe can cover any genre and any style without skipping a
beat. He is an all-things-to-all men guitarist/vocalist for the rootsy,
collaborative Lost Dogs. Regardless of the hat he is wearing, Michael
Roe has, over the course of his 25+ years as a national recording
artist, delivered well-crafted songs and lyrics to his audience.
Roe
is also a much-demanded producer and session player and has spent
considerable time discovering, producing and playing on many diverse
projects. Some of his additional works have been recorded by both
general market players and Christian music’s most popular artists.
Michael
Roe has carved out a body of work that is broad, deep, well regarded
and much acclaimed. In each of his recordings, Roe desires not only to
set forth a well written song but also to show himself as a real human
being, writing from his experience of life’s difficulties and struggles
as well as life’s joys and promises. “These songs are a forum where I
dialogue with myself and with God. A lot of these are prayers, some of
them are promises I’m making to myself, some of them are just wishful
thinking. Oftentimes my songs tell on me, they indict me, they provoke
me, they convict me.” Adds Roe, “We’re only here for a short time, in
this veil of tears...I hope my songs help people in general to realize
what we have been given and how much is available to us.”
