Glenwood Park Music in the Park: What you need to know
Michael Magno is a Florida native who transplanted to Atlanta in the late 90’s. He had already established himself as a professional touring musician before landing onto the Atlanta music scene.
With an undeniable voice, Magno brought his style of soulful pop songwriting and an extensive coverlist that garnished him immediate work in the Atlanta markets.
He quickly became an asset in the Atlanta music circles, recording with a variety of local musicians and lending his talents to live shows as a utility sideman on keyboards, guitars and backing vocals. At present, Magno splits time between his original project, self-titled MAGNO, as keyboardist for Brian Collins Band, and his wedding/corp group the ATL Groomsmen.
