Music
The Greek word "eraze" (AIR-a-zuh) is the root of our word earth. Michael coined the word era-cism to mean loyalty to the earth. Michael’s eracistic music is designed to generate a love for the planet as patriotic songs do for a "country".
The songs have been described as "folkgrass an’ roll".
Essentially acoustic in nature, it is designed to be easily adapted to any style of music.
The music is stylistically similar to the artists who have autographed Michael’s guitar.
