BLAST Artist Review – The Michael Botte Band

By Sherrita C W Delacruz

The ambition and talent found in Michael Botte is that of a seasoned artist. Surfacing in the midst of the pandemic in 2020, the Michael Botte Band has struck a chord with music lovers around the world since. The groove is genuine with lyrics that give rest to the soul and joy to the heart. All the acoustics sounds, track after track, blend to an inviting warm appeal that anyone with ears will give a listen. Thanks to Bob Beals at Sound Foundation Studios, the music comes alive with an audible integrity mastered throughout the band’s catalog. Michael’s versatile songwriting takes one on a journey out of Philadelphia, PA, by way of rural roots. From the melodic, hope-filled resonances in “New Rising Sun” and “Beautiful Day” to the intentional guitar play on “If I Asked You To”, you will be pleasantly pleased with the Country music edge and the Rock elements found in these great pieces of work. Big Records has made a great move getting behind this phenomenal breakthrough band. It’s apparent that the Michael Botte Band will be an act to follow for years to come! Look out for the new single “Radiate” scheduled for release on October 27, 2023, on all of your favorite digital platforms distributed by Sony/Orchard.
