I am a songwriter and performing artist in Boston, MA. I write and perform original songs in two formats: Solo and Band. See videos below for a sample of each format. I have two hours of original material in each format.
Solo Format: Michael Boezi
- Format: Guitar & voice; busking, Billy Bragg style. I can also pull together a small combo for low-volume venues.
- Description: Electric folk, songs are topical and current, covering current challenges in our culture.
I perform regularly in the metro Boston area, including a monthly residency at The Square Root in Roslindale, MA called the Songwriter Showcase Series. Each night I perform a solo set and then invited a featured guest songwriter to perform a full set as well. It’s stripped down so that the spotlight remains on the songwriting.

In addition to live shows, I’ve been producing a series of “process shots” to pull back the curtain on my songwriting.

NEW RELEASES: MONTHLY SINGLES
I’m actively releasing new music with a string of new singles inspired by our current collective feelings of frustration and fatigue. I’m trying to put out a new song every month, but we’ll see if I can keep up that pace.
