Guitar Academy Features Michael Reno Harrell

With many thanks again to John and Karel for sharing this discovery, Tess and I were treated to an Outstanding Performance by Michael Reno Harrell at Hendersonville's newest music Instruction and Concert destination The Guitar Academy of Western NC. The Guitar Academy honors both the musician and the audience by providing a Perfect Listening Environment. According to Tess, despite all our stereo equipment investments over the years, the absolute best place to listen to her music is her Honda. And why? Because it is the perfect space for Listening. 
It's not too big, not too small, not too loud, not too soft... It's Just Right!
And so it is at the Guitar Academy for the Artist and Listening Enthusiast. Like an Acoustic Cocoon, It is Just Right! The stage is up front and elevated just enough with soft lighting so that everyone can see, hear and "Listen". And there is a difference. This is not a bar, a restaurant or night club, there are no competing conversations or clinking glasses or food exchanges. At the Guitar Academy, the Artist came to Perform and the Audience came to Listen and in that relationship and with this artist, Michael Reno Harrell, there was the necessary chemistry for Great Communication!
In this story and song about My Town he captures the temper and texture of life in a "Mill Village" in Spartanburg, South Carolina, a part of American history and heritage that is sadly disappearing and can easily be overlooked and forgotten by todays young aspiring American Idol. Michael lived it, he feels it and he preserves and communicates it with his audience, moving them to laughter and tears with the memories. 



A Singer, Song Writer, Story Teller.
In "The Nickel" he chronicles a young girls venture into a challenging world where sometimes that simple little Nickel was the only Hope she had.

A wink from Arlo Guthrie and a nod from old Mark Twain, Michael Reno Harrell is a Charismatic and Captivating Entertainer offering heartfelt words of acoustic wisdom and truth, surviving a plugged in age.  Check with The Guitar Academy 235 Duncan Hill Road in Hendersonville  Phone: 828-775-7841 for Professional Instruction and up coming Concerts.
