I watched her covering elliott smith's song long time ago and now she signs to the record label that elliott smith was there.

I’d say more “Faye Webster with a harp” than Alice or Pharooah, but definitely the Dead/Allman southern jam rock thing going on! Really nice!!

Hot damn, I was kind of hoping they'd do a Dead cover because they do that amazingly well, but then they just went far out in their own way. Pedal steel player is on point with those effects pedals, guitarist coming in with the tasty sax action, rhythm section locked in a trance, Mikaela in another dimension reminding me of Alice Coltrane's playing...all around seriously impressive performance Mikaela and Co. !!

My first time hearing you guys and I'm blown away. Such beautiful music. Mikaela is like a princess of Spring, Summer and Fall; what an amazing voice. The band are amazing musicians. I hope you guys are around for decades to come. Cinderella was a great song to start of with; thats what grabbed my attention. Saturday Morning I keep rewinding and playing over and over. ❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣

Like a beautiful floaty mash up of Brian Eno and First Aid Kit.. Well that is the crazy cascade of fruity sonic flavours that are floating through the void of my numb skull head after first hearing the opening song here.... Later on I am getting trippy flashbacks of sixties flower power Beatles era and then some residue of mid nineties Kula Shaker... Just for the record: very very beautiful talented musicians here.. Thanks as always KEXP for making the complicated and messy world we all live in a better place. 😊😊

I refuse to believe the harp can be sampled synthesized and played like a human. There's no other instrument that evokes certain aural emotions. I got turned on to Mikaela's music by her work with Circles Around The Sun. I play it constantly, and am in love with this band. So now, what's this?? Mikaela plays keyboards and sings like a godess too?? This performance is fantastic!! Thank You!!!

She’s so awesome, whole band too. Had the great privilege of seeing this lineup in a small venue in Ithaca NY the night before the Cornell 77 commemorative Dead and Co show this past May. I remember thinking if I couldn’t sneak into the show (got a miracle pit bracelet and strolled in) I’d still be completely satisfied having experienced that show the night before. Totally wonderful time all love for this band. Saw her again last summer when she came out with DSO at the jubilee in Legend valley Ohio for drums/space. Utterly sublime.

Naming the band after one of the members is cringe, IMO. Everyone here is talented. They should have one name that represents them all.

@stevenscott9835 Ай бұрын

Except that Mikaela Davis is a solo artist. Southern Star are a great band, and they really should have introduced them as Mikaela David and Southern Star (which is the name of the album she named after the band) but she works separately apart from this group with other bands like Circles Around the Sun, in addition to performing solo sets minus a backing band, so you don't really know what you're talking about.
