Mikaela's
solo shows are a melancholy mix of traditional and original songs that
explore the moodier side of life. Listeners can expect a blend of
murder ballads, traditional vodou chants and other dark folk/blues influences,
plus a bunch of new originals in the same vein. There's also a song cycle
in the works featuring the words of female poets and priestesses from times
long past. Tales of desperate characters, tortured souls, and
eerie encounters. Solo voice and autoharp.
Listen to a streaming .wma of Heretofore, recorded live at CB's Gallery 8/4/2000.
