Behind The Tracks: Michael Alan - Butterfly (Single) (2023)

Butterfly, from UK's Michael Alan, weaves in and out stylistic leanings towards progressive rock, jazz, and blues. Simplicity, tone, and melodic guitar lines drive the intended theme of hope and wonderment for new beginnings Expressing emotions through melodies is the focal point for the Leeds (UK) based guitarist and this vision entirely shapes the compositional characteristics of the Calling album.

Drawing inspiration from greats such as Carlos Santana, Gary Moore, Dave Gilmour, and many more key influencers, Michael Alan strives for his guitar work to have 'feel' and 'emotion'.

The official video release for Butterfly features a contemporary ballet performance from UK dancer Leah Evans.
