Poetic lyrics that are playful and serious set to cello, banjo, guitar, drums. A pillow fight you want to be part of. "Breathe Owl Breathe makes music of honest curiosity: Music that confounds a listener with its relentless humility, while somehow entrancing an audience with its loveliness at the same time. The interweaving strings of melody from Andrea Moreno-Beals’ cello and Micah Middaugh’s acoustic guitar always reveal a story to be told. It’s only when the two of thembegin to sing that the story becomes clearer. All the while, the audience can’t help but clap, sing and laugh along." -by Derek Barber -from The Michigan Daily Monday May 7, 2007 "…the duo of Micah Middaugh (guitar, banjo,baratone ukelele, vocals) and Andrea Moreno-Beals (cello,vocals, piano, harp) use an array of instruments to create a nostalgic look at childhood, adulthood and the transitions in between. Organic in nature and minimalist (despite the broad scope of instruments played) in presentation, Breathe Owl Breathe’s music reflects the lay of the land and the rugged landscape from the woods of Iron Mountain to the lowlands of Benton Harbor and fields of southern Michigan. Accented by the dreamy vocals and dynamic strings of Moreno-Beals, Micah Middaugh sings songs with the voice of a folk hero and a spirit that ties the music to the land. Breathe Owl Breathe has the poise of something far beyond its actual age, proving that sometimes less is really more." -from Thirdeye Magazine (issue 0020 May/June 2007)
