Guy's musical style of writing and performance has been described as classic traditional American rock influenced by the likes of Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison, Tom Petty and James Taylor with nice storytelling, good dynamic landscape, and lots of musical variety. Famed producer and songwriter Wally Gold acutely recognized his songwriting talent. Mr. Gold who worked for Don Kirshner, discovered Kansas (the band, not the state) and has written hit songs for people like Elvis Presley and Leslie Gore, expressed appreciation for Michetti's songwriting abilities after hearing a live performance. His two CDs, "Headin' For The Crossroads" and "All In My Mind," were recorded and produced on Staten Island at Moon Studios where his producer, Henry Falco, is the Chief Engineer. Last year Michetti released a 4 song EP entitled "I'm Coming Home." The title song raced around the world as it was streamed and downloaded world-wide. The title song is about a wounded solider coming home after a tour of duty in Iraq continues to be a popular download. The CD has had remarkable international sales and hit number #1 for two weeks at an independent music site in the U.K. Michetti has donated all profits from the sale of that EP to Disabled American Veterans. Michetti is part of the independent music movement that is flourishing around the globe. “The internet has become the next big thing. It allows musicians to share their talents not only in the coffee local houses and street corners of the world, but also with music lovers who want to sample new, innovative artists.” The music business is changing,” Michetti says – There are many artists who have free downloads to allow potential fans to become familiar with their music and internet radio is bursting right now, with places like SoundClick, Mixposure and ArtistLaunch that provide great services for Independent artists and music fans alike. Even Amazon.com has independent music like Michetti's available for free downloads and for sale.
A songwriter from Nashville Lex Zaleta said this of Michetti and his music: – Guy Michetti is a walking, talking American jukebox. He has mastered every style of music. Whenever I listen to Guy perform, I feel I could be back in Dustbowl Times with Woody Guthrie or in Greenwich Village with Ochs and Dylan. I could just as easily be in 2093 enjoying his newest release - Guy's music is that timeless. Rarely is that degree of talent wrapped up in so much humility. If Guy were given ten Grammy Awards tomorrow, I would still feel it was too little, too late. You have your own sound - but pretty soon it will be a sound shared by millions. That big break has to right around the next musical corner for you. –
