Press Quotes
“An earthy Michigan duo with roots in indie, classical and traditional music, Breathe Owl Breathe has cultivated a musical landscape that is at once playful and reverent, silly and heartfelt, mysterious and familiar. Micah Middaugh and Andrea Moreno-Beals experiment with an array of stringed instruments (most notably the cello and guitar) and vocal harmonies to texture their original songs. They were raised by rivers and gardens and their instruments tell the tales. They traveled to cities and islands and their voices tell the tales. They are here for you, Breathe Owl Breathe.” -Seth Bernard
“At last, some music in the folk tradition that is new and refreshing, something an old music critic like me is always looking to find. It’s what keeps me going. I heard this delightful duo at the Bioneers environmental conference in Traverse City and was knocked out. The combination of cello with guitar, banjo, and voices is just about perfect. The all-original tunes are subtle, have real class, and just a just touch of humor.” - Michael Erlewine, Founder of the All-Music Guide (allmusic.com)
