Michelle, Powder Keg's lead (emeritus), is a second-generation barbershopper, following in the footsteps of her mother. In addition to being a talented singer, she is a renowned hypnotist. Gaze upon her countenance at your own risk. She has used her mesmeric skills to debrief victims of UFO alien abductions.
In 2008 her quartet Fiddlestix won the Region 23 competition. Fiddlestix was the first quartet whose point total actually exceeded the maximum possible. That caught the attention of barbershoppers far and wide.
Michelle is currently the Secretary of Musical Efficiency for the State of Georgia, and is considering running for governor in the next general election on a platform of "harmony for all the people."
