Los Angeles-based saxophonist. Symon Michael grew up in rural Appalachia during the 70's, where he was classically trained on the clarinet as a child. He wound up in San Francisco in 1980, catching the SF punk movement while it was in full swing. At that point, Symon purchased his first saxophone and began writing and performing as one of a small group of working horn players in the west coast "punk funk" movement of the day. He currently has a band called Symon's New Blue Diamonds.
