Blackbird and Applegate

Melanie Blackbird and Mark Applegate found each other through their mutual love of jazz, blues, and world music. They found connection in an ability to communicate without words, which perfectly fuses with Melanie’s Earth based lyricism and songwriting.

With powerhouse female vocals, funky organ grooves, melodic soulful guitar explorations, they bring the bacon on a danceable and listening good time!

As a duo, they caress you into their musical world with their spirited conversations, when joined by Sir Cecil on drums, the inspired groove is uplifting and an even more rhythmically joyful good time!
