Paramount Center for the Arts is pleased to welcome local singer-songwriter, Michael Shynes, to the stage. Shynes has worked to become one of the most sought-after acoustic performers and songwriters in the Midwest. He has an ability to blend shades of multiple genres over an acoustic landscape, and his songs are ripe with lyrical depth rarely paired with mainstream appeal. “The thing that seems to separate Shynes is unquestionably his voice and phrasing. With a range and falsetto that is nothing short of captivating, his acoustic fingerpicking style acts as the perfect bed of warmth on which his soulful lyrics can rest.”
