Acclaimed singer-songwriter Michael Tiernan is a master of the soaring chorus and catchy hook line. Appearing at Beaumont’s on June 13, his music places equal emphasis on piano and guitar, so fans of Coldplay, Crowded House and even Oasis’ softer moments will find much to admire in Tiernan tunes, such as “Write Me a Love Song.” Currently working on his fifth album, Tiernan’s rep grows with each release. Crucial to his success is that he’s a great all-around entertainer, from musicianship to between-song banter. All of his albums to date have won or been nominated for music awards around the country, but it’s his live set that’s helped Tiernan become one the area’s most popular singer-songwriters.
