Lori Michael’s full-length CD debut, “Living My Life Out Loud,” (Reform Records) couldn’t be more aptly titled. Recently out at 33, Michaels is unstoppable. Recently tagged the lesbian Justin Timberlake, Lori blends 21st century blue-eyed soul, hip hop beats and pop. GO! Magazine, called Lori “a new Renaissance woman” –- a powerful singer/songwriter, a musician of the first order. The fans of NFL, NHL, NBA, and WNBA franchises know Michaels for her chill-rendering delivery of the National Anthem, as well as producing, directing, and wowing crowds in her pre-game and half-time performances. Countless couples know Michaels for “Unconditionally,” her love song sung at many a gay wedding, and club audiences know her for being (in the words of Philadelphia Gay News) “smokin’ sexy” in her steamy Me & The Girls hit show. Since March of 2006, Michaels has taken Me & The Girls to venues around the U.S. including Ladies Rock in Philadelphia, opening for the Village People and Ashford & Simpson, performing for Showtime and the Human Rights Campaign’s L Word Premiere Party in 2008. She even has a reality TV series in the works! Ain’t no stopping her now.
