Bio

Michael Ryther was born in San Francisco to two teachers. He picked up the guitar as a way to be different from his twin brother who became a classical violinist. After honing his songwriting craft and playing his unique brand of alt folk in numerous coffee shops, Michael recorded his debut CD with producer Chuck Alvarez. Amid critical accolades, his self titled album was a top seller for CD Baby.

Since then Michael's following has grown, playing shows in such well regarded San Francisco and Los Angeles clubs as The Whiskey, The Rainbow Room, Genghis Cohen, El Cid, The Knitting Factory, and The Sunset Room. He and his brother joined forces and toured Europe. His song "Love of My Life" was featured in the independent short film "Harlequin".

Michael also writes catchy can't get them out of your head songs for children. He has performed in Los Angeles schools, public and private, entertaining hundreds of students and educating them about ways to be environmental heroes. He is currently recording an environmental album for kids.
