A consistent message is just as important in music as it is in business. Michael Abraham has long been a champion of acoustic country blues. More than something that he heard growing up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the songs of Bukka White, Huddie Ledbetter (Lead Belly) and Yank Rachell have been coursing through his blood since he was 13 years old. B. B. King and Albert King were stepping stones to the electric guitar. But Michael has always been drawn back to that timeless acoustic music of his formative years. Sauced up with some Chuck Berry rock ‘n’ roll and increasingly peppered with noteworthy true-to-type originals form Michael, Sean and Aaron more and more people are not just listening to the Michael Abraham Trio, they’re getting the message.
