About Michael

Mike Schlenoff, affectionately known as Schlenny, is an independent songwriter and musician. Raised on and roused by 20th century popular music, Schlenny's style evokes sentiments of American roots, traversing the rhythms of Tin Pan Alley, the visceral storytelling of country music and the grit of rock & roll. Before venturing out on his own, Schlenny toured nationally as the lead guitarist for Berklee alumni, Mornin’ Old Sport, and was a distinct part of Boston's underground jug-funk band, The Hogstompers. In 2014, he released his debut solo album Muse’s Morals. Now working out his latest demo tracks, Schlenny combines soul and study to create fun and informed live and recorded music.

Muse's Morals (2013 - 2014)
Music by Schlennymusic Writer, arranger, performer Consisting of nine original songs, "Muse's Morals" is an impressive display of songwriting and diverse musical arrangement. The album is available on CD and vinyl, digital download or free streaming on bandcamp. Poetically abstract, yet approachable, "Muse's Morals" delivers soul-bearing insight into the mind of the artist. Co-arranged with producer James Strazza, the album journeys masterfully through multiple genres. Tracks like "Bunting for Home" are clearly inspired by Schlenoff's self-proclaimed love for The Great American Songbook, while "Out of My Head" takes a darker turn into sounds reminiscent of Jack White and Iggy Pop. Cohesively crafted, Muse's Morals is an authentic ride through the trials and tribulations of the human heart and mind, leaving listeners ready to hear more.
