Nicole Theron & Michael Canfield make beautiful music together. Both have been playing their instruments since they were three years old. Singing, song writing and live performance followed not long after.
South African-born Nicole sings like an angel, and plays piano and ukulele. She’s been influenced by, and been compared to, artists such as Tori Amos, Amy Winehouse, Amanda Palmer and Ani Difranco. She recorded ‘Perspicacity’ at the SABC Studios in Johannesburg. Produced by multiple SAMA Award winner Peter Pearlson, and featuring a stellar roster of SA musos, it is an intimate document of her writing and performance. She has since gone on to incorporate new and diverse influences into her work, and her latest original songs from her recent EP 'Off Course',are breaking new ground with the depth of their insight and emotional content.
Michael Canfield, originally from the USA, sings, plays drums, tenor guitar, baritone uke and banjo. He’s been a working musician for decades, worked on dozens of recorded projects, and has done everything from perform at the Grammy Awards; to touring internationally; to busking on the streets of major cities to earn enough bucks for meals and transport! Besides being a really skilled and experienced musician, he is defined by the joy and passion he brings to his work.
The duo has recently signed an agreement with Shoreline Songs/NextMusic/ TheOrchard for distribution via Spotify, Apple Music and al other digital platforms.
Theron&Canfield recently launched 'You Want To Be There - the songs of Leonard Cohen', a two-act presentation designed for listening environments and intimate theatres. It's already played to sold-out houses in Cape Town, and will be touring soon
The collaboration between Nicole and Michael, whether playing their own songs or interpreting the works of others, is a riveting, complete musical performance package.
Moving. Entertaining. Inspired.
