Michael Crane and Trish Anderson perform a unique blend of spoken word and music drawing from their many years experience in their respective fields to bring something different to the Melbourne music scene.
On Michael Crane...
“Bleak, funny, moody, like a modern-day Chaplin, Michael Crane shows us the flickering frames of his and our lives in the pervasive dystopia of Melbourne. The tantalising emptiness of distant beauty, the impossible quest for the perfect poem, the slippages of social, economic and emotional access are subjects of these confessional and comedic songs. Many are performance pieces and lyric-like, they wear their heart on their sleeve as they speak in the wry, keening voice of a contemporary troubadour who sees from the outside the fears and foibles, the desires and disappointments, especially of men, in a world which still sometimes seems at the edge of the universe.” — David Gilbey
With the success of the Poety Idol competition and the launch of Paradise Anthology compilation Michael has decided to team up with Trish Anderson to go in a new direction.
Trish Anderson...
