Michael Tiernan
Transformational Songwriter
Multi-award winning singer-songwriter Michael Tiernan knows a bit about the power of music as a healing modality. After surviving cancer at the age of 16, music became his helpmate in processing the 'big questions' that came to him at an early age. At 18, he took his newly found passion for life and music traveling the country in a van with a group of 'Catholic hippies' giving retreats to young people. College found him crisscrossing through Europe with his guitar. In his 20's, Tiernan spent time hanging with monks deep in desert monasteries and later living in the Vatican as a seminarian on the way to becoming a priest. Yet he left that calling for a higher one - music. What would a person like this have to say about life? Plenty, especially when magnified through the prism of a song.
After years of performing and touring in support of his own music, for the past 5 years, Michael has turned his songwriting skills to help others heal and tell their own story through the songwriting process, working with companies, individuals, and couples. He recently released his 8th studio album, “For Others”, a collection of songs written for, with, and about other people's inspiring stories.
