Michael Hearne

     Michael Hearne's destiny has been tangled in wire and wood since he first laid his hands on a guitar at the age of seven.  With a natural ear for harmony and an aptitude for picking, it wasn't long before a young Michael Hearne became a local sensation in his childhood hometown of Dallas.  By the age of sixteen he had honed his skills on the guitar and without a doubt in his mind about his destiny, he hit the road as a touring musician.
