Blues Mama (Michelle Fitness) meets steel and string wielding gutter punk street poet (Nathan Petersen) …What could possibly go wrong….thats Two Tears in a Bucket….add to that a solid rhythm section and you have Two Tears in a Bucket Band.
With enough respect for blues, roots and jazz traditions to carry the torch for the genres and enough disrespect for those tradition to rip it apart and remake it you wont regret hearing and seeing this dynamic Australian band. Delivering solid grooves and inspiring lyrics, Two Tears in a Bucket will give you something to think about as well as something to shake that booty too. Nathan Petersen is a journeyman songwriter. His street kid punk roots blend with his respect and understanding of traditional blues and roots, add to this an astounding talent for the slide guitar and a growing talent for many other stringed instruments and you have the makings of an upcoming great Australian street poet / songsmith……Nathan sings and writes about what he knows best….surviving on the edge and having a damn fine time doing it. Michelle Fitness is a songbird story teller, who can get inside the lyrics to bring out an interpretation straight from her own soul…..from gutsy to fragile, Michelle can conjure the full range of human emotion with a mighty vocal talent. Michelle has a long and versatile history on the Australian regional music scene with a love for authenticity in lyrics, no matter the genre, she is a true mirror of the archetypal human soul. |
