Michael Falcone

Michael Falcone began making music at the age of seven on his aunt's baby grand piano. In the early '90s, he began making home recordings with one-time collaborator David T. Lukes on the Korg M1 keyboard, where he learned the art of sequencing, multi-tracking, and MIDI sound production. After joining the band Neon Wilderness in 1992, Michael toured various music venues in the Chicago area before branching out to record his own music shortly after under the name of Maestro Bizarro. In the twenty-first century, Michael played hand percussion in the Pacific Northwest with world music group Hejira, klezmer music group Klezterbalm, marching bands The Antifascist Marching Band, and others, until finally finding a home with the folk/celtic group. In his spare time, he is an award winning filmmaker, a voice-over artist, and a film location scout. He also likes cats.
