With an untamed voice and lyrical particularity of a lifelong wallflower, Michelle’s songs are as welcome as that gas station on the late night highway that’s still open. She’ll remind you of an Emmylou who went through the looking glass. Sweet, but off in a way you wish you could put your finger on.
Her originals are keen and keening, with unsettlingly quiet spaces to fill in your own blanks. There’s familiar landscapes in her words, but shot with splinters of forgotten bits from dark basements of western, folk, americana, and roots influences.
Her debut album will be released 2020 features 10 original songs, supported by musicians Brian Deck on drums, Brian Wilkie on tele and pedal steel, bass clarinetist Jason Stein, Matt Brown, banjo, guitar, fiddle, and producer; Aaron Smith on bass, Nashville bassist Ethan Jodziewicz, and vocalists Amanda Healan, Samantha K. Mills, and Wild Earp.
