Michael John was always surrounded by musicians as a child. His grandfather, Michael
"Mickey" Nold, was an incredible musician and band-
With these strong influences, Michael became enthralled with music
and created his first drum set, at the age of five, out of the buckets used to feed
the horses on the family farm. He would play them for hours while listening to and
singing along with greats like: Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Gene Pitney, Tom Jones,
Englebert Humperdinck and the Beatles.
Once time proved Michael was not going to give
the drums up easily, his grandfather bought him his first real Ludwig snare to learn
on, later graduating to a full kit by Westbury on which he learned to play the music
of favourites like The Who, Led Zeppelin, Sha Na Na, Bob Seager and Cheap Trick.
He was soon playing school dances in his first band at the age of twelve and was
performing in bars and hotels at thirteen.
Michael formed, sang lead and played the
drums in numerous bands between 1984-
In 2008 Michael join The Hound Dogs and has already performed
several shows with us to to rave reviews.
