Michael Moore as Willie Nelson
Michael Moore was born and raised in McKinney, Texas. His passion
for Willies's music came at an early age. "I can remember
hearing his music coming out of my grandmother's old AM radio," and
even then Michael knew that there was something unique about Willie
Nelson. Nelson's voice and unusual style of phrasing are hard to
match. Through many years of study and about a million "Whiskey
Rivers" later, Moore's ability to capture" the country
music legend's voice and style are considered by many to be the
best in the world. Michael is also an accomplished guitar player
and performs all of the guitar parts played by Nelson in his shows.
When asked what kind of music he likes, Moore said, "Everything
from The Carpenters to Metallica." Michael has performed his
Willie tribute show throughout the USA as a solo artist and also
with several top tribute shows including Cavalcade Of Stars, Mirror
Image, Memories Theatre and Superstars Live in Concert, a BC Entertainment,
Inc. production. |

including their life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in This
Country who no longer understand anything about honor.'
