Michael McLean

Michael McLean is a speaker, composer, author, performer, playwright, film producer and director. He travels all over the country performing at corporate events, youth conferences, and women retreats. His corporate show is a combination of music, inspiration, and a very thought provoking message.

Since its release in 1991 Michael has performed a theatrical version of The Forgotten Carols to sold-out audiences throughout the United States

They include You're Not Alone, Stay With Me, Celebrating the Light, A New Kind of Love Song, One Heart in the Right Place, You've Always Been There for Me, and the best- selling Collections Volumes 1 and 2 and The Forgotten Carols.

As a filmmaker Michael was the original story writer, producer and director of the film Nora's Christmas Gift starring Academy Award winner Celeste Holm. He was also Producer and original story co-writer of the holiday television classic Mr. Krueger's Christmas starring film legend Jimmy Stewart.

His message is simple: Sometimes we just have to hold on til the light comes, and the best way to do that is to realize there is only one you. With stories and songs I have given encouragement support and hope to those who find that life can be harder than they expected, but offers extraordinary gifts of joy and success, if we know how to find them.

Bringing Michael McLean to your event will not only entertain your audience with award winning music, it will inspire them to look inside themselves and discover the riches of their lives.
