Mal-O-Dua

press release: "Mal-O-Dua" or mal aux doights is French for sore and weary finger from working.  

What happened when Django Reinhardt met Merle Travis? A new style of acoustic swing was born!! Well...actually that never did really happen. However, that is the blending of styles that Mal-O-Dua is built on.

The duo pulls from a wide range of sources including early French pop, traditional Hawaiian music, Gypsy jazz, Kentucky finger picking, Western Swing, Parisian waltz, and the American standards songbook to name a few. These styles are blended to create a fresh new sound.
