In the heart of the vibrant Utah music scene, Turtle Dovin' emerges as a compelling collaboration between Michelle Moonshine and Andrew Wiscombe. Michelle, a seasoned performer, honed her craft by sneaking into venues from the age of eighteen, drawing from influences like Gram Parsons and Doc Watson to craft her unique blend of Americana music. Her performances, often compared to Alison Krauss or a young Emmylou Harris, exude a raw yet refined energy, captivating audiences with lush harmonies and ample twang.
Andrew Wiscombe brings a wealth of life experience to his music, having traversed the landscape of rural America as a soldier, laborer, and Berklee-trained award-winning songwriter. His ability to weave tales of hardworking folks on the forgotten fringes into American roots music has earned him praise and comparisons to contemporary songwriting greats. From his days as an Army Sniper to his poignant reflections on everyday life, Andrew's storytelling resonates deeply with listeners, tapping into the most human parts of the human experience. Together, Michelle and Andrew form a musical partnership that transcends genres, delivering performances that are both soulful and authentic, with a nod to the rich tapestry of Americana tradition.
