J. Michael Harter is an American country music artist and songwriter from the Desert Southwest of Arizona. After growing up singing in honky tonks, around bon fires, and at rodeos in his home state, he packed up and headed east to take a shot at Nashville. Shortly after moving to Nashville he caught the attention of legendary producer Blake Mevis (George Strait, Kieth Whitley, Charlie Pride). Blake recorded J. Michael’s first album for Broken Bow Records and started things off right with the labels first top 40 Billboard hit, “Hard Call to Make”.
