Michael Franks evokes feelings of sensuality, languor, tropical passion,
with an intimate, sashaying bossa-bebop. Born in La Jolla,
California, and now living in Woodstock, New York, Michael Franks has
a PHD in songwriting and sports 16 CD's to his credit over a 33 year
music career.

In an era of that has transformed music into a throwaway commodity,
Michael Franks still writes jazz which seamlessly weaves
intellectual lyrics of stunning sensuality and wit while blending
the sounds of jazz, samba, soul, and pop. His most noteable
songs are “Popsicle Toes,” “Monkey See-Monkey Do,” “The Lady Wants To Know,”
“When the Cookie Jar is Empty,” “Tiger in the Rain,” “Rainy Night in Tokyo”
and “Tell Me All About It”.

His music endures and will always be with us, like banana branches swaying in a
warm night breeze, on a Brazilian beach..... with a voluptious brown woman beckoning
from the hammock below....
