Micah Erenberg is a diversely talented multi-instrumentalist, singer songwriter and front man extraordinaire from Winnipeg, MB. Micah grew up in the small and quaint town of Matlock, MB. He has strong family roots and an affinity for the country. He has been writing songs his whole life with inspiration from the rural surroundings of his hometown, and the solitude this lifestyle provides.
Like the man himself, his music is charming, witty and authentic. His full disclosure style of writing makes for captivating material that varies from poetically clever to gracefully heartbreaking. Erenberg continually finds ways to reinvent the art of songwriting by expressing a mixture of honest lyrics, mesmerizing melodies and distinctive musical arrangements. His band is a dream team of Winnipeg talent. The group consists of Logan McKillop on electric guitar and vocals, Kieran West on acoustic guitar and vocals, Matt Filopoulos on bass, Dan Bertnick on drums and Micah on lead guitar and vocals.
After years of live performances, the band released their debut album, Poor Mic's Toe, in the fall of 2016. The album is a refreshing cleanse of new music that showcases Erenberg’s aptitude for songwriting and the band’s formative musical collaboration. The lyrics are simultaneously sharp, clever and even hilarious without compromising depth. Each song offers a different perspective from Erenberg’s highly self-aware and crooked compass. The album is a mosaic of stories, thoughts and reflections about sleeping eternally, drinking with Jesus in Los Angeles, losing a toe to a lawnmower, kissing while smiling, drinking away the seven seas, and everything in between. He reflects on both the hilarity and misery of life in a highly accessible manner.
