Michelle Aldrich-Goldstein

Michelle Aldrich-Goldstein writes alternative country songs with an emphasis on personal growth and healing. She grew up in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis, where country-rock music was part of the fabric of the culture. She is most inspired by the artists of the 1970’s Los Angeles country-rock scene, including Jackson Browne, Emmylou Harris, and the Eagles, among others. As a child, Michelle was classically trained on the violin and piano. She played the violin in the local youth symphony, as well as in local theater productions. However, as an adult, she stopped playing music altogether to focus on a career in nursing. In late 2010, after not playing music for over 25 years, Michelle purchased a keyboard to re-learn basic piano skills. From 2014-2021, she performed in several local rock/pop cover bands as a keyboardist and background vocalist. In 2024, Michelle began releasing some of her original music to the public. While she sings on her tracks, her primary goal is to be a behind-the-scenes, non-performing songwriter.
