Lora Midgley (Vocals and Guitar)
Clayton Devanny (Guitar and Vocals)
Influences
Off the top of my head...Neil Young, Eryka Badu, Kurt Cobain, Stevie Wonder, Norah Jones, Eva Cassidy, India Arie, the wonderful world of Funk and millions of other things...
Lora and Clayton's paths crossed in 2004 and discovering their similar passion for music, they soon began gigging together. They both sing, play guitar and generally enjoy tinkling about on all things music-making and the fact that they enjoy a wide range of music makes for a pretty eclectic selection of songs. Although their song-writing styles differ somewhat, their is always a strong emphasis on vocal harmonies and emotive lyrical content.
The Freewheel are now in the process of recording their first album together as well as working on solo projects and other band projects too. They are also looking for other musicians to join them on their blossoming sonic voyage too so if you dig, please get in touch! lorachild@hotmail.com
