    Michael McDermott Writes From The Heart with New Album "St. Paul's Boulevard"
    McDermott’s brand of rock n’ roll brims with the kind of depth in writing and the kind of social reflections on society, that can only come from a life spent on the road. His style is uniquely his: a blending folk sensibility, pop hooks, and rock riffs that is an exploration of the dark corners of life’s journey, resonating with blue collar mores and middle class truths filtered through the eyes and voice of a kid that grew up on Chicago’s Irish South Side.If you are a fan of Springsteen, Van Morrison, John Steinbeck, Patti Smith, McDermott’s inspirational rock is in your wheelhouse, waiting late night with a guitar, spare smokes and stories of the American heart.
