Michelle Roderick – winner of last year’s DSE entry from the COMBO Songwriting Contest
Colorado singer/songwriter Michelle Roderick brings a wealth of imagery to her groovy original country-rock music. She has been writing and performing her songs for over 25 years. Michelle grew up in Preston, Minnesota and spent her college years in Lubbock, TX and Iowa City, IA. She moved to Fort Collins in the early 1990’s and began playing her music in the Northern Colorado area. Her collection of songs blends a mix of country, blues and sultry rock into familiar life stories.
In 2018 Michelle was selected by ITYDITY, a Fort Collins based company, to work with a music producer on one of her songs. She connected with Jonah Brockman and her song “Don’t Go Tonight” was selected as one of COMBO’s top songs of 2018. Michelle is collaborating with Jonah again on an EP called “Mama Bird” which is to be released in the coming year.
Michelle continues to perform in the Northern Colorado area and plays either solo or with a band. You can find more information about Michelle at : http://www.michelleroderick.com
