Songs for Everyone

November 5, 2013June 19, 2015 12 Comments

Everything we know about ourselves, our history, and how we relate to one and other is rooted in the sharing of experiences through stories. It is how we learn, grow, and develop as individuals, and communities. Stories are universal – as is Music. Music is felt and treasured by every single being on this planet, and traditionally, has been a major conduit for the transmission of messages, thoughts, and feelings throughout the ages.

“Songs For Everyone,” a program focusing on musicians utilizing their craft as a medium for fostering positive change, is a space designed to inspire listeners via the sharing of amazing stories facilitated through Music.

Music inspires and inspiration creates music.

Show Host

Michael Averill

Wanderer….Philosopher….Fun Doctor…..This tradesman of sound was born to bring people together, to make light of a troubled day, and to administer a steady I.V. of positivity to the world. Since 2002, the Kelowna native’s rapid growth as a singer/songwriter transpired out of love and encouragement from his unbelievable family, friends, and open hearted strangers. He emerged in Vancouver, BC as an intriguing World Folk Fusion artist in 2004, and his magnetic melodies and warm demeanor have been dissolving woes and changing perspectives ever since.

Michael’s musical aim is to provide a space for people to feel apart of something, and to be excited about living the lives that inspire them.

Growing up in a world competitive athletics and a career in exercise physiology, Michael’s performance record often took shape along the sidelines of teammates races, in echoed training stairwells, or yoga studios when not on stage. It is from these motivating environments that he cultivated his uplifting character, and many can attest to the joy and insight his music has brought to them.

2011-2013 have been packed with three album releases that he self-produced:

What’s Life All About? (March 2012) Musical puzzle album

New Day, New Path, New Legend (January 2013) 5 song score for a documentary made from an expedition in Nepal Michael participated in (Beyond The Gates of Phu)

I’d Rather Walk (May 2013) Current project exploring Canada by foot

Michael has also toured nationally and internationally, including performances in France, Germany, Nepal, China, and around most corners of Canada. His current album “I’d Rather Walk,” is a tribute to his late singer/songwriter father, Garry Averill, and he is sharing both his and his father’s songs as he tours the country by foot. His goal with this endeavor is to build community through encouraging healthy lifestyles physically through walking, and mentally through open conversation about life, death, family, and communication. Where ever Michael roams, he fosters positive bonds and catalyzes growth among his eclectic/all age audiences.

I do not have to know every thing but know those that know something. Sara T.

If I am willing to comprehend a little I open up to knowing a lot.
If I stay in the willing to love life mode I will draw to me love in all areas of my life.
My life is a projection of my inner self, peace with in is truth but inner turmoil is outer chaos.
Seek to live in inner harmony at all times so one can project and invite harmonious interaction without.
Do not feed the past but only fuel the future.
Your value of life today is in how you respond to your every day, look to enjoy it instead of bitching about it.
No matter the pain inside, embrace your self in order to embrace life, with that the pain will melt away because you can’t have pain where there is so much love.
If we could only remember that love that was so strong and that took you to such heights we would not fall or despair ever again, because to have known such deep love is to know Gods embrace and never feel alone ever again.
Don’t feed the pain fuel the love.
When you can see it in your minds eye, feel it in your heart believe it with your soul, you then you can make it happen.
But it is essential that you surround your self with like minded people for the energy needed to take flight, believe whole heartedly in order to make it happen live in no doubt.
