Do you ever just stop everything else you're doing to listen to a certain musical artist simply because their music, their voice, or lyrics really speak to you? These are the kinds of artists I put in my playlist. Artists that write music which paint a picture; artists that have voices that are raw, and don't need computers to make them perfect, (because it's the imperfections that make them so special.) Artists who aren't just one-hit wonders, but write about what they live and breathe daily from life's experiences. Artists who will write the songs they have in their hearts, whether or not anyone else hears them at all.

RAW & UNIQUE MUSIC AWAITS YOU AT HAVEN HOUSE

If you love the raw truth in music, then you won't want to miss this show that is coming to The Haven House in South Haven on Friday, June 27th, beginning at 7 pm. Two people who are both musical success stories in their own right are coming together for an unforgettable night in the round.

Caitlyn Smith and Michael Shynes will be taking to the stage with just their instruments, their songs, and their voices, and share an evening of music, filled with the stories behind the music for everyone to enjoy.

Haven House is located on Michael Shyne's property. Back when COVID put him and many others out of the spotlight of performing on stages, Michael took to the outdoors, and is sharing that beautiful space with you.

ABOUT MICHAEL SHYNES

Those who have met Michael know that there is something special about him. He is kind-hearted; he is someone who listens. He is a lover of writing and decided that he could no longer put off his destiny of writing music after he lost his father at the age of 25. Realizing that music was his destiny, he dove in with everything in him, and it has paid off. He now has 7 full-length albums and numerous EPs.
