When Song and Danceman was released in 1974 Mike McClellan was already an established performer on the acoustic music scene. That song topped the charts bringing him national recognition and a following that has remained loyal to his highly personal brand of music. He is one of the best songwriters to emerge from this country in many years and among its most talented singer/guitarists. Now he’s back doing concerts, renewing old friendships and playing extensively. His new CD, If only for a moment… will only add to his illustrious history as one of our finest singer songwriters. The CD was showcased last year at a sellout concert at The Basement in Sydney and the reviews for his recent performances and the new CD have been exceptional. The new CD is a remarkable collection of new songs, produced by brilliant young keyboard player, arranger and composer Stefan Nowak. Always an emotionally courageous writer, there are a number of songs on this new CD that are deeply moving and, for those who have heard it, among the best things he has ever written. It sustains the exceptional quality of his much-loved early work while richly reflecting his growth as a writer.
