Kicking off the weekend in Austin, R&B Singer-Songwriter Miguel Lit up the Stubb’s Waller Creek Amphitheater and turned it into the largest dance party in the city. A multiple level riser transformed the normal stage at Stubb’s with him centered at the top in between his drummer and keyboardist, while his bassist and guitarist worked their magic on the ground level.

Miguel started off the night on “Criminal”, and then worked through all but one song off his 2017 release, “War & Leisure.” After the initial intro, he ditched the mic-stand and began dancing and
bringing his audience into the rhythm through songs like “Wolf,” “Sure Thing,” “Adorn,” and “The Thrill.” The crowd was dolled up and dressed to the 9’s, looking to dance, and soon began kicking up the dust and gravel of the outdoor amphitheater.

After an hour of leading the party, Miguel brought the night to a close on his fan-favorite and virtual catch-phrase, “Sky-Walk.”

Growing up around the world, Michael developed a taste and appreciation for all styles of music. While studying film making at Boston University, he dove headfirst into a mosh-pit and never came out. It was in Boston that he combined his love of film and photography with his drive and passion for being a chronicler of the underground music scene. After graduation he headed to Los Angeles and for over a decade has worked with some of the top musicians and actors in the entertainment industry. Lured to Austin by the cultural explosion in the music and film scenes taking place there, he relocated two years ago and describes Austin as a cultural Shang Ri La!
