Michael Mazzarella has been labeled "a National Treasure." Lyrically and melodically gifted, he crafts his songs with passion and honesty and the word-imagery he creates transports his listeners to hauntingly colorful landscapes. Even if those pigments are often blue, gray and violet, the experience is worth the ride. Although the shadow of Mazzarella's fame extends to a cult-status boundary, his critically acclaimed work with The Rooks has placed him on top of the mountain in the indie label universe.

Michael's styles range from guitar rock to acoustic tug-at-your-heartstrings ballads. Folk, country and pop are all on Mazzarella's songwriting palette which easily lends itself to cinematic requirements. As one journalist wrote, "Mazzarella's melodies get you hooked even before the first chorus appears. Now that's songwriting!"
