Biography
Michelle Cross is obsessed with her music. "I [play and write music] all the time. When I don't have a job I'm playing 14 hours a day. When I do have a job I play 4 or 5 hours a day. I have to do it everyday… as much as I can squeeze in." She describes her songs as therapeutic and very personal. "It's like my journal" although she admits she likes to "steal shoes" a lot.
Sprinkled with classical influences and firmly supported by strong vocals, Cross's songs tend to have a darker moodier feel to them. At times, there is a lot of aggression and rhythm in her piano playing, yet even at its most gentle moments her powerfully emotional and melodic piano-based songs have caused listeners to sit-up and pay attention."

New Photos
I've added some (as in 3) photos from the StarBar performance. Laura, a poster to the forums, was so kind as to take them and share them with us. When a new layout is finished, I hope to have a section for photographs of shows that were taken by fans.July 15, 2004
Also, the "shows" section is briefly updated and will be fully updated as more information becomes known.
Other than that, enjoy yourselves and I hope you've all had a wonderful weekend.
Dragon Fest music cancelled
Hey everyone,
We found out earlier this week that because of budget cuts, the Dragon Fest is no longer having music acts. Consequently, Michelle won't be performing next Saturday.
HOWEVER.... Sept. 18th Michelle will be playing at the Elbo Room (again, here in Chicago). So if you're around Chicago, going to be in Chicago, or would like to visit, put down Sept. 18th as a chance to see Michelle perform.
We're also waiting to hear back about some other potential gigs and we'll keep you posted about those too. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!
