Michael Suddes is an indie folk singer-songwriter blending heartfelt storytelling with the raw sensibility of his blue-collar background. Raised in Connecticut, Michael picked up a guitar at 13 and never looked back. His early passion for music eventually led him to study jazz in the Pacific Northwest, but it wasn’t long before he felt the pull of his New England roots—and the life he’d come to build back home.

By day, Michael worked in the trades—welding, contracting, painting—labor that shaped not just his hands, but his songwriting. “Writing a song feels a lot like building something from scratch— you get messy, shape it piece by piece, and end up with something that holds meaning that you can take pride in.”

Michael’s songs reflect that spirit: emotionally raw, narratively rich, and often with an indelible hope while centered around the complexities of human connection. There’s a quiet strength to his writing— stories that feel lived-in, delivered with sincerity and soul. Whether exploring the quiet ache of heartbreak or the evolving churn of personal growth, his music takes listeners on a journey to sit with their own stories. Known for his warm, intuitive live performances, he brings a deep sense of presence and connection to every stage he steps on.

In March 2024, he recorded his debut full-length album at the legendary Sonic Ranch in West Texas. The album entitled ‘Out of my Hands’ is set for release in fall 2025.
