At 16, he played in a surf music band, sometimes backing artists such as The Lovin' Spoonful and Paul Revere & the Raiders.

Plunge is a hit-and-miss CD by Michael Stearns. He deserves kudos for taking a risk and trying something different, but the overall is a somewhat uneven montage of e-music and soft jazz riffs. His arrangements are superb, and the notes are right. The styles just don't mix that well, and the soundscape is entirely too busy.
