"Storyteller Jill Michaels shares the humor of everyday life. Her observations are inspired by off -beat experiences of working as a graphic designer for Bellevue Hospital ....yes, that Bellevue, leaning into one sided romances and waitressing at Hollywood dives. The avante gaurd artist go-go danced in NYC to put herself through graduate school, and wound up working on the Olympic website for NBC. These days, you'll find her teaching Computer Graphic college classes and snaking down rural roads in search of the perfect little trailer.Michaels' folksy tales and storysongs about a fiesty neighbor and her thrift store finds, reminding us that we are all in the soup bowl together... so stir gently."
"Raised to be a debutante in Philadelphia, Jill Michaels admits was an experiment that failed mainly because she didn't like shoe shopping. Ever the optimist, she wound up writing, then touring the country with her books full of doodles and humorous tales in, "Debutante without a Dress," "Telling Tales," "No Customer Service," "Life Half Undone," &
"DesertTime."
Michaels' lively one woman shows combine her sketchbook drawings, paintings and fun stories in a style remniscent of
Bukoowski, Arlo Guthrie and Garrison Keller.
Her eclectic radioshows have aired on NPR affiliates and commercial stations.
