Michael Cavanaugh

The Music of Paul Simon, James Taylor & Billy Joel

Michael Cavanaugh is a charismatic performer and musician made famous for his piano and lead vocals in the Broadway musical Movin’ Out – for which he was handpicked by Billy Joel to star in the production. Cavanaugh definitely evokes a style rivaling the Piano Man!

With the close of Movin’ Out at the end of 2005 after over 1,200 performances and multiple accolades, Michael began touring in his own right. His interpretation of the modern rock/pop songbook led to Billboard calling him “The New Voice of the American Rock and Roll Songbook.” He brings one of his Singers & Songwriters shows to the Visiting Artists Series this season showcasing the music of Paul Simon, James Taylor and Billy Joel.
