Boy. Girl. Shakespeare. Making Beautiful Music Together. Performing artists in Los Angeles, Mike and Mandy met professionally on a Shakespeare play, after which they fell in love, took road trips, shared their love of music and married 3 years later.
Mike was a ska/punk singer and songwriter for 5 years, a reggae keyboardist, & a jazz, funk, and acid-jazz drummer. Mandy grew up in the heart of the US, singing with an Orchestra Children’s Chorus, an Opera Children's Chorus, and in musicals. She's sung country, jazz standards, rock n’ roll, and loved “hard folk” like Indigo Girls, classic rock like Pink Floyd & experimental artists like Bjork & Tom Waits. Both developed a taste for the roots of American music. Mike and Mandy road trips are filled with ”alternative” artists like Radiohead one hour and jazz the next; Alt Country & Roots one minute and trip hop & hip-hop the next. They've explored nearly every genre of music in covers and gigs. They give older songs complete reinterpretations and pour their hearts into passionate, evocative originals. Bringing that old punk DIY ethos, Mike and Mandy make all their music and videos at home or on-the-go, jumping out of the car to shoot a music video in front of a cool view. The road is wide, and each song is unique. They can’t wait to take a trip with new listeners. Click follow as we roll down the road celebrating life, love, and old & new music. Genre is a cage.
