Michael Cavanaugh is the new voice of the American Rock & Roll Songbook and a charismatic performer and musician made famous for his piano/lead vocals in the Broadway musical Movin’ Out. Handpicked by Billy Joel to star in Movin’ Out, Cavanaugh evokes a style rivaling the Piano Man. He appeared in the show for three years with over 1,200 performances and received multiple accolades. The show culminated in 2003 with both Grammy and Tony award nominations.

With the close of Movin’ Out at the end of 2005, Michael began touring worldwide in his own right, creating a show that reinterprets the modern pop/rock songbook known as The Music of Billy Joel and Elton John. Michael soon became one of the hottest artists in the private events market, and continues to perform worldwide. His tours consist of company and charity events, Performing Arts Centers, as well as sporting events including many PGA Tour events, the Super Bowl, and the Indy 500. His interpretation of the modern rock/pop songbook led to Billboard calling him “The New Voice of the American Rock and Roll Songbook,” and he was recognized by Reuters as Entertainer of the Year for the private events market.
