“Michaelis is very clever at knowing just where to come in and bring these songs to life; there’s a cerebral vibe to these songs, but they don’t grab you that way at first because Michaelis knows how to write a song; by building it up instead of being one dimensional.”
– Larry Toering, Gas House Radio

“His guitar style swings from one genre to the next, keeping a lot of rock and funk in the center of it all; it’s musically adventurous and catchy.”
– Jeff Turner, Vents Magazine

“Super-incendiary guitar and keys by Michaelis, who plays both with equal precision.”
– John Birch, Skope Mag.

“There is so much going on musically, that it’s more than songs; that’s the kind of thing you get with every turn on ‘Resolute,’ an album that checks out in every way, shape and form.”
– Randy Jones, Too Much Love Mag.
