The Official Website of the New York Cowboy

Despite his Brooklyn birthplace, it was the family trips to North Carolina and the Country & Western stations he heard on the radio that marked every note that came out of Michael’s mouth with a country twang.

 

"Even my Christian Contemporary songs come out Country," laughs Night. "I’ve always loved music and Country music in particular. Man, can they tell some stories! That’s why I’ve been so diligent about learning my craft, learning how to play piano, and guitar as well as working the controls in my basement recording studio."

The professional touch is paying off. Michael recently taped a segment of the PAX TV hit show Nashville ON Stage with his crowd pleasing song "Lose ol’ Frank." 

The ON Stage producers fell in love with the concept of a black cowboy from Brooklyn, and seeing Night’s good looking 6’5" athletic frame in person caused them to comment, "that all of Nashville would do well to take notice." And take notice it did! Michael caught the eye of Jonell Plansky, the multi-talented producer behind Tim McGraw’s triple platinum hit "Tickin’ Away." Plansky has put the full force of her DaCapo Music studio behind Night to produce the master recordings for three of the songs in his vast repertoire. 

Recently signed to Lariat Records, Michael Night is busy working on his next album. So you can expect to be hearing a lot more from The New York Cowboy very soon…
