Micah Dalton

Embracing an eclectic combination of folk, blues, soul, and R&B, Micah Dalton’s music has a unique, one-of-a-kind quality like that of a handcrafted good. “When you combine an earthy, easygoing songwriting style, the influence of Donny Hathaway and Paul Simon and a penchant for warm understated instrumentation, there’s a good chance you’ll get ear-pleasing results. Micah Dalton has, as he calls it, ‘alt. soul.’” said the Nashville Scene. Micah Dalton’s latest release, a live album entitled Live At Eddie’s Attic, brilliantly displays his excitement for music and his skillfulness as a performer. Though he has recently relocated to New York City, Micah’s performances are an unmistakable testament to his southern roots. And as an Atlanta native, it was only appropriate that Micah’s first live album be recorded over two nights at two sold-out shows at Eddie’s Attic, the famous music venue in Georgia that has proven to be the springboard for artists such as John Mayer, Sugarland, Shawn Mullins, and The Civil Wars. Referencing the album, Dalton stated, “This is the thing that I am most proud of thus far in my career.” Beyond his latest live release, Micah has also received recognition for his previous studio album entitled Blue Frontier, which was released in March 2012. Blue Frontier is a collection of twelve songs that sonically run the gamut from 60’s and 70’s soul and R&B. The album resulted in him being featured on Amazon MP3’s “Artists on the Rise". “He may sound like an earthier, cleverer Ben Harper, but musically Dalton suggests mid-'80s Prince in the way he defiantly straddles so many styles, requiring an enormous musical arsenal to get his point across. These juxtapositions of sounds and style rarely feel forced or even deliberate, courtesy of Dalton's soulful vocals and incisive songwriting.”- Paste Magazine. - Discography: Live At Eddie's Attic (2013) Blue Frontier (2012) Gathered 'Round the Greasefire (2010) Pawn Shop (2008) Advancement (2006) These Are the Roots LP (2004) -Featured artist with American Airlines "Storyteller" Feature Summer 2010 - Named "Next Big Thing" in Southern Living Magazine June 2010 - Official showcase at SXSW 2008 - Has shared the stage with acts such as Dave Barnes, Jon McLaughlin, Gym Class Heroes, Richard Julian - Next Big Nashville 2009 - Ath Fest Paste Magazine Stage 2008
