Astride his motorcycle with a guitar strapped to his back, making references to quantum mechanics or classic science fiction, Michael McFarland is a musician who embraces his contradictions. Garnering comparisons ranging from modern-rock radio successes such as Matchbox 20 and The Fray, to venerable singer-songwriters such as Paul Simon and Elton John, Michael McFarland's rhythmic alt-pop songs have found their way into the hearts of fans with diverse musical tastes and a wide range of ages - from pre-teens to pensioners.

A recent transplant to Asheville, North Carolina, McFarland spends much of the warmer months on tour, which whenever possible he undertakes on two wheels - his customary tour vehicle is a classic Swiss military motorcycle. And while his recordings are fully-realized musical arrangements, his concerts are intimate affairs: heartfelt autobiographical songs accompanied only by his trusty acoustic guitar and loop pedal, intermingled with personal stories and self-deprecating humor.
