A Modern Crooner
Michael Carter embodies the revival of a golden era. Captivating audiences throughout the Bay Area, Michael has been hailed by Metro Newspaper as a "latter-day crooner who sings in the style of Sinatra," a title he carries with the kind of effortless charm that would make Ol’ Blue Eyes proud.
Hailing from a multi-generational musical family, Michael’s connection to the stage is as deep as his passion for preserving the timeless art of crooning. Under the mentorship of Bay Area jazz luminary Nate Pruitt of Primary Colors, he honed a voice as rich as fine bourbon and as magnetic as a neon marquee. Inspired by the swing of Sinatra, the sensuality of Jobim, and the charisma of Bennett, Michael’s performances are a celebration of music’s most elegant era, reimagined for today’s audiences.
On any given week, you’ll find Michael enchanting listeners in some of the finest venues, from swanky lounges to intimate jazz clubs, where the martinis are dry, and the music is anything but. Leading Vintage Noise, Michael transforms each set into a lively soirée, blending charm, humor, and unparalleled vocal finesse. As The Metro notes, "If there's a time for crooning to make a resurgence, it's probably now—it's totally Vintage."
