He’s an impulsive road-tripper. After high school, he went to Australia with 4 grand, an iPod and a camera. He went without a plan and stayed for 5 months working on a boat and waiting on tables in a piano bar.
Michael’s kind, approachable disposition gives way to an undeniable confidence onstage. This young man can break hearts playing solo with an acoustic guitar and loop pedal, and equally make venues soar with a full band. In Canada, Michael tours regularly from coast to coast.
He plays a guitar that is considered the workhorse of acoustics, a Gibson J45 (he has one in sunburst and natural); part of his passion for real instruments B3's, Leslies, tube amplifiers, saxophones and drum kits.
“I love Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, Feist, Souls of Mischief and Mason Jennings,” declares Michael. His favorite lyric of all time is from Paul Simon’s Graceland album "My traveling companion is nine years old, he is the child of my first marriage.” (As a young boy, Michael and his mom used to dance to Graceland.)
Michael’s forthcoming debut US album was recorded in a little studio in Hollywood, California. The song “Man Overboard” was written while joking around and singing the verses to Billy Joel's “We Didn't Start The Fire”. Inspiration for his music often comes to him at a lightning fast pace. “In Your Room” and “Love Is An Easy Thing To Miss” were written in about as long as it takes to sing them. Without any words written down, done from voice note recordings on his phone both songs were written in minutes. "Marvin's Room' by Drake inspired the guitar for 'Love is an Easy Thing to Miss”. “In Your Room” was written at 10PM after a long day with not much flowing and many breaks. Thinking he was done for the day, he sat down one more time, started playing the guitar and making up the verses as he went along. Recorded the song that night, and went to bed.
Michael Bernard Fitzgerald “MBF” has a simple goal - to pursue his craft as honestly as possible - devoid of smoke and mirrors. Positively uplifting.
I Will

When I loved you, loved you I will.
Sunlight, late nights, until you've had your fill.
When I loved you, I will.
When I win you, and win you I will.
When I win you, expend you I will.
When the time is right, and the mood is right, I'll be Jack and you'll be Jill.
Everyday I get a little bit closer,
One day I'll be there.
Everyday I get a little bit older, wish I can compare.
One day I'll be a little bit bolder, and wiser, and kinder.
One day I will. One day I will.
I'm gonna kiss you, and kiss you I will.
I'm gonna kiss you, and kiss you I will.
Kiss you till your eyes close, kiss you more still.
I'm gonna kiss you, I will.
Everyday I get a little bit closer,
One day I'll be there.
Everyday I get a little bit older, wish I can compare.
One day I'll be a little bit bolder, and wiser, and kinder.
One day I…
Push me, throw me, leave me lonely, but I'll tell you still,
Imma love you, I will. I will.
Okay.
I'm gonna meet you, and meet you I will.
I'm gonna meet you, and meet you I will.
Everyday I get a little bit closer,
One day I'll be there.
Everyday I get a little bit older, wish I can compare.
One day I'll be a little bit bolder, and wiser, and kinder.
One day I will. One day I will.
One day I…
