CITY SCRAPES

10 new songs from the heart of Hell's Kitchen NYC

"Another harmonius, ear-delicious blend of songs that speaks to the soul..." -J.Ingle NRS

Michael Beatty is an acclaimed singer/songwriter who has forged a musical career by the shear force of his creative talent. A confident “old school” style performer, Michael believes in the importance of making a connection with the audience -of hitting his mark and telling the truth. City Scrapes, his latest release, is a 10 song collection of piano driven pop with a 1970's retro edge. Backed by a band of first rate musicians, Michael rocks it hard and sweet. From the Brill Building on Broadway to the ghosts of dive bars past, City Scrapes reassures the listener that even on the darkest night there is always a place where “magic sparks the morning...on a marquee chasing gold.”
