Mikanic

Mikanic - Embracing their South African roots, Mike Rennie (violin and vocals) and Nick Turner (acoustic guitar and vocals) write innovative and heart-warming songs. Not limiting themselves too much to any particular genre, they love to take from an assortment of musical influences and create an uplifting whole that leaves the listener positive in spirit and wanting more. The diversity of their unique sound is available in their two CD releases: Swimming with the Women and the appropriately named Subway Tracks. Since meeting Yasuhito Sasaki in New York City, Nick's guitar mastery has added another colorful layer to Mikanic's creative sound as they play in and around New York City, England, Japan, and South Africa. Mikanic also plays regularly as a five-piece band adding Indian bass player Shirzad Khusrokhan and drumming maestro Alex Beckmann to the line-up. Besides the subway, Mikanic has performed at Lincoln Center, the United Nations, and such legendary NYC venues as Knitting Factory, CBGB, and Kenny's Castaways.
