About the event
Dine with us on March 26th, and enjoy a special performance by Michelle Held.
Michelle Held is a singer-songwriter whose music is heart-centered and deeply resonant. With a voice reminiscent of folk legends, she weaves poetic lyrics with soulful, genuine storytelling that captures the human experience. Her songs invite listeners into a space of warmth and authenticity, creating a timeless connection.
Tom Paxton said, “Two years ago, I told Michelle that I thought she had the gift. I am changing ‘thought’ to ‘know.” And Caryn Rose of Detroit Metro Times writes, “Where Held emerges above the fray is not just the unique technical qualities of her vocal instrument, multi-textured and commanding, but also her emotional approach to the songs.” A three-time Honorable Mention recipient in the prestigious Telluride Troubadour Contest, Held continues to garner recognition for her artistry.
Held’s self-written and -produced debut single The World Moves On, is an evocative and hopeful folk song that realizes the fragility of life. The subject is personal; Held’s childhood was marked by great tragedy with the unexpected loss of her father. This is a reflective piece about those moments when everything unalterably changes forever and yet, somehow the world keeps spinning as if nothing has changed at all.
