简介
Travelin' Light are multi- instrumentalist Mel Watson, formerly of the Australian band Fruit, and Corbin Keep, virtuoso cellist. Together, they create an aural feast of transcendental "free folk". Incorporating trumpet, soprano saxophone, and flute, Corbin and Mel use improvisation to expand the possibilities of musical expression and live performance, creating an exciting and inspirational musical experience.Formalizing their partnership less than a year ago, Mel & Corbin have harnessed their prolific and accomplished individual creative energies into one incendiary package. Known best for her award winning musicality, “She is up there with some of the jazz greats (Canada's Ingrid Jensen comes to mind), playing horns, saxe’s, flute, percussion... Watson also uses her voice as an instrument, emulating sounds in an aural scat, reaching tones that would give Mariah Carey and Celine Dion hernias...”Her genre-crossing, innovative musical boldness is infectious – supporting and playing alongside artists like Michael Frante, Bruce Cockburn, The Neville Brothers, Jane Siberry and the great Tommy Emmanuel- and a force behind her involvement in over 16 independent releases (including four solo) and extensive world-wide touring. Personifying terms like ‘creative’ and ‘inspired’, Mel lives, sleeps and breathes her song. The ‘Wild Cellist’ Corbin Keep brings his own frenetic style of playing, engaging audiences like a master - “one moment profound, even spiritual, and the next bursting with spontaneous humor – pushing boundaries and transforming this thickly traditional instrument into a tool for musical experimentation”. "Corbin Keep's contributions at the Kispiox Valley Music Festival was like having a virtuoso's virtuoso....his technical mastery and innovative techniques.....you will see very few performers who can improvise the way Corbin does”.
