Tomorrow in Sonoma: Michaell Hintons Bio from VSF 2012: Michael Hinton taught himself how to play guitar during the Summer of Love in 1967, inspired by all of the San Francisco bands of the day. He joined the Grateful Dead family in 1981, when he was invited by Mickey Hart to play in High Noon with Merl Saunders. Later, Merl called Michael to play on the soundtracks for numerous episodes of The Twilight Zone (CBS 1985-1987). Michael joined Merl Saunders and the Rainforest Band in late 1991. They spent the rest of that decade together, touring the world and recording five albums. Hinton has recorded with Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Brent Mydland, John Cipollina, David Grisman, Roky Erickson, Joan Baez, among many others, and has performed with countless others. His guitar playing is featured on numerous soundtracks for television and film. Hintons expressive guitar solos tell a story, take you on a journey. He carries with him the rich tradition of the San Francisco Sound--improvisational explorations colored with bits and pieces of musical history from every walk of life. His playing is true improvisation: a heartfelt, vivid musical expression of now. Michael was introduced to Barry The Fish Melton in 1982 by Mickey Hart when they played together in Mickey and The Daylites. Since 2009, Hinton has been playing with the Barry Melton Band. The Venice Spring Fling is very excited to host Michael Hinton performing with Barry The Fish Melton on May 12.
