Michel Ebben Live 2013-2017 & Ring of Fire
August 2017
Michel has been playing live for over more than twenty years now. From small venues to main stages at festivals, mostly solo and other times with his band.
Every show is unique; intense and witty, filled with stories, sometimes a joke or a response to what is happening in the moment, in dialogue with the audience. But one thing you can be sure of, you never know what’s about to happen when going to one of Michel’s concerts.
And every now and then the same question keeps coming up: “Is there a live album? Because I would love to hear more...” So here it is! Thirteen songs recorded during solo concerts at different venues throughout the Netherlands over the last five years.
Ring of Fire is the first single, recorded live at RTV Rijnmond during the daily radio show Rijnmond Nu, in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Scenes used in this music video are taken from 'The Journey' - an LGBTQI short Film written & directed by Kerri Rose Cecil and winner of the Best Short Video at the Transgender Film Festival 2014 in Germany. Used with kind permission.
Watch the video on YouTube right here!
The album is produced, mixed & mastered by Michel at Tempting Tunes Studios, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
You can buy or listen to the album & single Ring of Fire at all the usual online stores! And there's more! We made a special digital photo album, with lots of live pictures to go alongside the album! Check it out!

(A Song for) Fall & Darkness
May 2017
The lyrics are in English as well as in French, written by Michel, shortly after hearing the news of Leonard Cohen’s passing, november 2016. Leonard Cohen is one of Michel’s main influences and as a hommage he wrote a song inspired by ‘The Partisan’. The French part is a duet, recorded with the great Elma Plaisier, lead singer of the Dutch band Half Way Station.
The song is accompanied by a short, silent movie Demet and Michel made, during their week long holiday in Normandy. The movie is called ‘à Honfleur’ and features Demet in the role of Emma Marie Rose. (A Song for) Fall & Darkness is released on Ascension Day, May 25 2017, fitting the song’s and movie’s symbolic references. It’s also the first single of Michel’s upcoming album ‘Inertia (Incidental meetings & Other short stories)’, to be released in the fall of 2017.
You can buy the song at the usual online stores or listen to it streaming on Spotify or Apple Music.

A Letter to Dreamland
December 2016
A Letter to Dreamland is the second chapter of a sad story that started the weeks before Christmas in 2015:
“In December we said goodbye to our niece, just six years old. After a sickbed of five weeks she died of liver failure. The weeks before, I wrote a song - A Letter from Dreamland • First Snow will fall Tonight - with the hope she would get better soon and be home in time for Christmas! Fate decided otherwise and she passed away the week before Christmas.”
The song is also included on 'Tree of Life', the album by The Ever After Project, all proceeds are donated to the Dutch Liver patients Association (NLV). You can buy the song at the usual online stores or listen to it streaming on Spotify or Apple Music.
