Biography
Michael Fix’s entertaining and amazing fretboard wizardry has seen him earn a place amongst the world’s top acoustic guitarists, regularly touring Europe, Japan and Southeast Asia.
That's partly due to his remarkable skills as a guitarist, but mostly it's because of his unique music - a passionate, emotional, evocative outpouring that captivates listeners.
Michael's repertoire includes Jazz and Blues, Celtic and Australian Folk, Country, Classical and his own distinctive compositions, many of which have received TV and radio exposure, as well as various major awards.
His unique style - distinctively Australian and highly original in its presentation - marks him as a performer not to be missed.
Michael’s recent retrospective album “Rewind” is distributed internationally by Germany label “Acoustic Music Records”
An official endorsee of Maton Guitars, D'addario strings, and AER amplification.
