Great songs, great music & so much energy. Very uplifting!"...... ..Following those performances, they recorded and released an 11 track CD 'Here & Now' in October 2004 and in response to popular demand, Michelle Chandler & 'the handful' featuring Multi-Instrumentalist Sigi Gabrie, Max McIntosh on Bass, Mandolin & Vocals, Nick Carrafa on Drums, Percussion & Vocals and on occasion, Denise Smith on Vocals & Percussion, continues to perform at music festivals and venues throughout Australia where her shows leave audiences wanting more... ..Michelle wrote or co-wrote all of the material on Girls 2's debut CD 'Waking', first released in '98 and re-released in 2010 as Michelle Chandler and Denise Smith and followed with her critically acclaimed solo CD 'Inside Out' in '99.
