Michael Hurley is an American singer, guitarist, and fiddle player. Born on December 20, 1941, he spent his childhood in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. With a unique blend of folk and blues influences, Hurley has captivated audiences with his soulful voice and masterful guitar skills.
His music draws inspiration from artists such as Karen Dalton, John Fahey, Elizabeth Cotten, and Josephine Foster. Known for his storytelling abilities and poetic lyrics, Hurley's songs transport listeners to another time and place.
With a discography spanning several decades, Michael Hurley has left an indelible mark on the music industry. His timeless melodies continue to resonate with fans around the world.

Michael Hurley's first new studio record in 12 years features eleven songs recorded in Astoria, Oregon during the brief time of year when the foxgloves bloom. Hurley had been workshopping the set at home for the past few years. Friends and collaborators came into town and contributed from afar. The songs are lifted by violin, organ, upright bass, banjo, percussion - but at the center, of course, is the enigmatic Snock, whose songs have grown only more unique and recognizable 57 years after his debut album (First Songs - Folkways, 1964). It could only be Snock. Heartbreaking, heartfelt, easy and carefree. The glorious opener “Are You Here For The Festival” – punctuated by a pair of violins – came to him while working in the garden. “Little Blue River” floats by on a cloud. The haunting “Jacob’s Ladder” sounds beamed in from another era. Or dimension. Foxgloves is as comforting and wonderful as any Hurley record that has come before it.
