Michael McDermott

Michael McDermott will perform live at City Winery St. Louis on May 27.

McDermott’s brand of rock ‘n’ roll features well-honed style and wisdom gained from a career on the road and a pedigree in the studio.

Blending natural folk sensibility, pop hooks and honest rock, McDermott’s music is as much for the outcast as the congregation. It’s an exploration of the dark corners of life’s journey, and it resonates middle-class truths through the passionate filter of a kid who grew up on Chicago’s Irish South Side.
