THE MICHAEL D. BAND
The Michael D. Band is a nationally touring independent country band based out of Lexington, Kentucky. Playing over 200 shows a year, the band performs from Portland, OR to Key West, FL and everywhere in between. Focused on their high-energy stage show and multi-part harmonies, they have gained a large and faithful fan base through constant touring over the past several years.
The Michael D. Band has performed several shows for the Professional Bull Riders, Inc. Tour including the World Championships in Las Vegas, NV the past two years, sponsored by Cooper Tire, and has become a staple band at PBR events. They have performed with numerous nationally touring Country and Rock & Roll acts over the past few years, and play at several fairs and festivals throughout the United States.
The band’s latest album, “ROWDY” is a driving and edgy record with breakout songs “Thinkin’ About You” and “Let’s Get Rowdy”, along with fan-favorite “Black Dress”. The band also has a great deal of studio experience, which enabled them to record, produce, engineer, and master the entire album themselves. This current project promises to give a polished new flare to country music. “We are extremely excited about this record. Our fans all over the country have been asking for it for a long time now, but we took the past year to make sure the material was right before we decided to release the album.”
With aggressive lead guitars and a rock solid rhythm section, their energetic performances appeal to audiences young and old. With captivating lyrics, extraordinary harmonies and driving grooves, The Michael D. Band delivers a unique show fusing country and rock in an innovative way, which excites the crowd and leaves them screaming for more.

New Van / Gear
We are very excited to announce some new investments and improvements we have recently made.
First and foremost, the time has finally come to say goodbye to our old Dodge Sprinter Van, and we have upgraded to a larger and brand new Sprinter Freight Liner. We have also made some equipment upgrades: a new mixing board, new equalizer, and we are all now using in-ear monitors. We have also doubled the amount of speakers and amps to accomodate larger in-door venues as well as outdoor venues.
Lastly, next week we are back in Las Vegas performing at the Professional Bull Riders World Championships.
We look forward to seeing you all at a show soon!
Great Summer
We have enjoyed a long but successful summer touring the country, playing shows from the west coast to the mid-west, and added Kansas to our ever-growing list of states played. It was great to be able to get back to some outdoor concerts and festivals the past few months.
Thank you to everyone that has picked up a copy of our latest album this summer. Since releasing it in April, we’ve had some great reviews, and continue to be impressed with the positive response you all have given to our music. If you don’t have a copy of the album yet, make sure you pick one up at one of our shows, or right here on our website through I-tunes or from our online store.
Upcoming shows: We will be in Wisconsin and Illinois the next few weeks, and are looking forward to getting back to Denver in October, as well as Las Vegas at the end of October for the PBR World Championships.
Looking forward to seeing everyone out at a show soon…
