Shannon LaBrie
In reference to the song, Michael shares that:
Shannon LaBrie and I wrote, “All I Can Do”, in an alternate tuning on the front porch of the house where “Write By The Sea” was hosted on I think the second day we were there and we recorded it as a duet. It’s a song for all the times you didn’t know how to help someone that you cared about who was struggling, but you finally commit to just being there with them, in their struggle, rather than trying to fix it.
