About the Author

Michael Bostwick is a singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and producer. His most notable projects include Pipe Choir, PC III, PC-ONE, and The Marian Circle Drum Brigade, whose songs are entirely written, performed, and produced by Bostwick.

Michael Bostwick currently lives in Massachusetts with his wife Kelley. While performing with various groups as a drummer/percussionist, Technical Black (1985-1987), Rotary Ten (1987-1988), Thumper Incorporated (1990-1993), Slo Bob (1994-1999) and Morticia's Chair (1998-2002), Bostwick continued to regularly write, record, and perform Pipe Choir music. The song Savior was originally recorded in the spring of 1990 and was the first song written and recorded by Bostwick exclusively for Pipe Choir. The moderate radio success of Savior provided enough fuel to keep the project active for the next several years. By the year 2002, Pipe Choir started to become less of a side project, and more of a full time operation. In 2004, Bostwick began to shed his peripheral musical commitments, and focus all of his creative energy on Pipe Choir, PC III, PC-ONE and The Marian Circle Drum Brigade.
