Michael Bloom is a Chicago-born, classically-trained guitarist, singer and songwriter of classic and original blues. From Oakland, CA to Chicago, IL, Michael’s been writing and playing the blues in one form or another for most of his life. The poetic voices of Robert Johnson, Jimmy Reed, and Mississippi John Hurt, the lyrical lines of BB King and Otis Rush, the rhythms of Muddy Waters and Little Milton all echo through his songs. When you see Michael and the Blues Prophecy testify on stage, you’ll feel his passion for performing the blues and his love for bringing it to the world.
"One thing I’ve learned," Bloom says, "is that the blues is more than the notes you play, or the words you sing. It’s something you feel deep down inside, from a gnawing despair to a surge of joy. Blues is the music of struggle, but it’s also the music of hope. Like Buddy Guy ? the man himself ? says, 'The blues is alive and well.' It’s everywhere. Blues is life and life is the blues. Start living the blues. That’s the message I want to bring to the world. That’s The Blues Prophecy."
Some of the places Michael has performed at include Rosa’s Lounge, Buddy Guy’s Legends, The Kingston Mines in Chicago, the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale MS, Wild Bill’s in Memphis, Eli’s Mile High Club in Oakland CA, Starry Plow in Berkeley, CA, El Farol, Tiny’s Dine & Dance, Evangelo’s in Santa Fe NM and the historic King William IV pub in Fenstanton, England.
While in Chicago, Michael played with blues legend Mary Lane, and her band The No Static Blues Band. He also recorded tracks for his new CD, "Whisper in the Wind".
He has recently been accepted as a ReverbNation Curated Artist and will be featured on the ReverbNation homepage in July.
Michael now resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with his wife, Lisa Arthur and their dog Gibson and cat Tiki. Michael travels regularly to perform and to live the blues.
