He has recorded four solo albums: ''Morning Rory'' showcases his traditional skills. ''Fused'' explores several other musical genres including trance, while ''Wired'', released in October 2005, takes the experimental approach of ''Fused'' even further. His latest album ''Aurora'', released in 2010, is less experimental but still adventurous. He also recorded an album, ''At First Light'', with John McSherry (also ex-Lúnasa) going back to his traditional roots. In 2010 Michael replaced John McCusker, joining Tim O'Brien on Mark Knopfler's US leg of the Get Lucky Tour.
