Mickey and Michelle are a harp and fiddle duo from Australia, who have managed to seamlessly blend contemporary folk and jazz in a rich, unique style of their own. Their 2019 debut album ‘A Walking Pace’ perfectly showcases the duos unique sound and unusual combination of styles.
Michelle was born into an incredibly musical family and has been performing professionally from the age of eleven. Since then she has gone on to perform with the likes of Paul Kelly, Shane Howard, K-D Lang. Her compositions on this album are deeply rooted in Celtic music while also balancing her incredible attention to detail and nuanced phrasing from her classical studies.
Mickey on the other hand developed a passion for jazz and his playful improvisations are ever-present in his original compositions. He also takes great delight in reinterpreting traditional Americana tune with jazz harmony and Afro-Cuban polyrhythms.
The dynamic duo are on the brink of embarking on their most challenging adventure yet; a 6 month, tramp of NZ’s 3000km Te Araroa Trail. Mickey and Michelle are bringing their instruments with them to perform a series of concerts along the way. Paul Davies of Arts Music Australia is sponsoring and overseeing the transportation of their instruments to each gig, the duo simply has to walk there.
The duo will donate 20% of merchandise sales from the tour to osteoporosis research, a subject very close to their hearts.
