Georgia State University has afforded Thayer the ability to become a Teacher Assistant, where he has instructed collegiate level courses to undergraduate students. He has also had the privilege of running chamber ensembles at university, including the Georgia State University Classical Guitar quartet. This quartet has performed many high-profile events, including St. Luke’s Episcopal Church Music Series, Alliance Francaise Atlanta, and the presidential banquet at the University of Georgia. Besides performance and teaching, Thayer has arranged string quartets for the First Baptist Church of Decatur. He says, “Arranging has helped me greatly understand music outside of the guitar.” Thayer currently resides in Atlanta, where he performs at local private events, churches, clubs, and restaurants.

Michael K. performs popular acoustic songs from artists like Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Jason Mraz, and also has a range of genres from classic rock to modern pop. He provides a cross between mild background music and engaging sing-alongs.
