Michael Cartellone - artist bio

News Flash - Watch Artist/Musician Michael Cartellone's recent interview on CNN
(with a focus on working musicians who are also talented painters).

Michael Cartellone was born June 7, 1962 in Cleveland, Ohio. He began painting at the age of four and drumming at the age of nine. Music and art would be a simultaneous learning adventure throughout his childhood.

Michael's music career began at the age of 11 when he played his first bar. After many years on the club circuit, he moved to New York City when he was 22. After playing with former Roxy Music/UK keyboardist Eddie Jobson, and then former Styx guitarist Tommy Shaw, Michael found himself a member of the multi-platinum selling band Damn Yankees. This was the springboard for a career that has included recording and touring with John Fogerty, Peter Frampton, John Wetton, Freddie Mercury, Cher, Adrian Belew, Accept and, for the past 10 years, the legendary Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Michael's art career has included exhibitions and gallery shows in New York City, two shows in suburban Washington, D.C. and dozens of paintings sold to individual collectors.

RockPoP Gallery is pleased to be able to offer Michael's "Road Series" images which, as the title would indicate, were done while he was on tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd. In addition, he's recently added an image that pays homage to another musical hero of his - John Lennon.
