Michaela Lemonis is originally from Anchorage, Alaska, and has played multiple instruments since she was a child. Music had already made an impact with her family. Her great uncle, Fluke Holland played drums with Johnny Cash for forty years. He was the drummer for the Million Dollar Quartet recording which featured Cash, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins. Michaela's love for folk music continues to shape her contribution to the group, including her soft, airy voice and playing mandolin, fiddle, and guitar. 

Crosby Lane has uniquely crafted the intimate setting and laid-back sensibilities of a "Nashville songwriters night" while sharing the stories behind the songs and the writers (many of whom cannot tell their own stories) with fresh renditions of favorite songs, including classic folk and pop songs, church hymns, and original songs by John and Michaela which feature true-life, unforgettable characters and stories.
