Michael Katon (born 1953)[1] is an American blues-rock guitarist and vocalist. He grew up in Ypsilanti, Michigan, United States, in a musical family where he was early inspired to take up the guitar.[2]
Katon made his recording debut with his 1984 album, Boogie All Over Your Head. His album Rip It Hard continued in the traditional blues-boogie vein, and while, like many blues men, major commercial success evades Katon, he remains a respected guitarist in the field.[2] Katon released a live album in 1996.[3]
Valerie Potter of Metal Hammer said " Michael Katon plays some of the loudest, toughest, meanest rock & blues on the planet!".[4] Living Blues also said of Katon: "Katon is a virtuoso guitar player with his roots in the right place...[his] sound is a blazing blend of electric blues and roadhouse boogie".[5]
In June 2014, he was voted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[1]
Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan,[1] Katon now lives in Hell, Michigan.[2]
