Exposing Edith
Created and performed by Michaela Burger [vocals] and Greg Wain [guitar], it is a stunning mix of authentic French chanson and contemporary sounds punctuated with a collection of extraordinary story's of her life. Having explored the undertones of Piaf's vocals and lyrics, Burger and Wain have created their own unique interpretations of her work, using voice, acoustic guitar and the subtle use of loop, delay and effect pedals."Sensational" ★★★★★ Southside Advertiser, Edinburgh "A blazing life force" The Age.
