Meet Michael - Michael Peterson - The My Real Life Tour

Loved for such million selling country music chart toppers as "Drink Swear Steal & Lie" and "From Here To Eternity", this multiple Grammy and CMA award nominee has moved sold out audiences all over the globe for nearly a decade. But he is so much more than a "celebrity recording artist."

Prior to his career in country music, this national champion collegiate football player spent twelve years teaching hundreds of thousands of Jr High and Sr High school students across North America how to live with uncertainty and not be paralyzed by fear. He is a contributing author to the New York Times bestselling "Chicken Soup For The Soul" series. He is a proven hit songwriter with multiple #1 songs in gospel and country both in the U.S and Europe, recorded by multiple Grammy winning superstars like Travis Tritt, Timothy B. Shmitt from The Eagles and Deniece "Let's Hear It For The Boy" Williams.

But more than anything else Michael Peterson is a proven "people mover" whose consistent commitment to purposes greater than himself has caused organizations as diverse Special Olympics, Selective Service, Ronald McDonald House, FFA, the USO, St Jude Children's research hospital, The American Legion and most recently the New Holland corporation and the U.S. Army to seek him out as a voice for messages that matter.

With a new CD "In Black" and the Army sponsored "My Real Life – Strong For America" tour beginning in February 2008, he is bringing together the power of hit songs, community events and school assemblies to help close the gap between public education, civilians and the military at this critical time in our nation.
