“Absolutely flawless technique. A true artist that plays something everyone can enjoy.”
– Chris Newton, Performing Musician & Music Educator, Petaluma, CA
“Michael was so great to work with. He went above and beyond for my event, going out of his way to learn and perform the one song that meant the most to my client’s wife. He even stayed after his set was over to help where he could. I look forward to working with him again.”
– Dana Floro, Dana Floro Creates, Sebastopol, CA
"Michael is the type of musician that will make you turn your head, to see what’s pleasing your ears so much. And you won’t be disappointed. His impressive guitar skills combine with natural feeling original compositions, and a beautiful voice rich with tone colors, that will likely make you turn to watch, and keep watching, then maybe close your eyes and listen.”
- Tyler Smith, Performing Musician, Composer, Petaluma, CA
“Michael is not only an amazing musician but will also add to your overall event mood. I am an event planner and have hired Michael to perform at various events and when I know he is performing, I feel at ease. I know he will not only provide a wonderful live set but he will also help with the overall vibe and get your guests feeling great! He is a fun musician to just sit and watch as he really knows how to put on a show. He goes the extra mile and takes care of my clients from the first initial conversation... not telling them what they need but listening to them, helping them pave their event music path together. He is a team player and I highly recommend hiring him for your next gathering, large or small! Thanks, Michael!”
- Kristen Miller, Principal Wedding & Event Planner, So Eventful, Healdsburg, CA
“Michael has this tremendous ability to lift the mood of the room with his music. Once you hear him play, you can feel the emotional authenticity and understand his own love for music.”
- Dale “Luc” Davidson, OmnableCreative.com, Petaluma, CA
“Michael is one hell of a musician. But, you can listen to his music online and be able to tell that for yourself. Michael is one of those few precious people that automatically make you feel uplifted when they're around. I honestly don’t know how to put it into words; but, I do know that when I have an event, I try to make sure that I'm able to create a spot for him on the crew. I run my own sound company, and while I'm not in need of his musical services very often. I am always very much in need of people who make the experience memorable in all the best ways. If you're lucky enough to have Michael at your special event, you'll know exactly what I mean!”

“We’ve worked with Michael for the last few years. Bottom line: he’s fantastic. We produce complex two-hour outdoor multimedia shows with immersive background video projection, live video feeds, live vocalists, lip sync performers, live bands and more. A few years back, we realized that we had outgrown our ability to meet our sound needs internally. Stephanie, one of the members of a band who regularly performs with us, recommended Michael. One phone consultation and we knew he was the right fit. After we worked with him on that first show, he became part of our team. Our show day is nerve wracking. We typically have a cast of 25 performers, outdoor table seating of 200, a standing room of hundreds of additional audience members, and a live video feed on eight flat panel TV’s into a packed bar. As the Tech Producer of our shows, when Michael arrives for his call time, I know I am in good hands. From set up, to sound check, to the show, to break down…he takes charge and delivers. I trust him completely…and maybe more importantly…our performers trust him.”
- Scott Mitchell, Purple Stardust Productions, Guerneville, CA
“Michael McCall works on my team as a live sound engineer at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma. We have worked together for over three years on recording live shows and closed set studio sessions. Michael is an indispensable member of our team. His knowledge, temperament and enthusiasm bring the most out of every project. He is highly self-motivated and is always looking for ways to improve the final product. I know that our musicians and our recordings are in great hands whenever Michael is on the job.”
- Jim Agis, Phoenix Theater, Petaluma, CA
“I have been watching Michael McCall grow up as a musician and sound technician for at least 15 years and I can tell you he has gotten to be expert as a player, composer and sound engineer. As a musician and technician for hire, Michael starts by being a good listener. If you can tell him what you are looking for, he can most likely put it together for you. And it will be a quality product, musically and or technically. If he can’t t do the project he has the knowledge of the industry and equipment to put you in the right direction.”
- Tom Gaffey, General Manager, Phoenix Theater, Petaluma, CA
I cannot begin to express how special Michael made our wedding day. We got connected late in the planning stage. He was able to learn the songs we requested and had a significant catalog of covers and instrumental music. He played our ceremony and cocktail hour. He plays and sings beautifully, it truly added an extra special element to our wedding. The image of my wife walking up the aisle with her parents to his beautiful rendition of our song choice is a memory that will last a life time. We are so grateful for his professionalism, flexibility and kindness. He exceeded our expectations. If you are going to hire a musician, hire him. You will not regret it. I am so thankful we did.
