You haven’t heard a duo until you’ve heard this one!
Jonny Coppin and Mike Silver.
The two voices are a natural mix and the way they share the songs shows this to be a duo in the truest sense. The combination of Johnny’s piano and Mike’s guitar gets right to the heart of the listener. This is music from the soul, delivered with powerful conviction by a duo in the truest sense of that word. The delight they take in playing the music is plain to see and their live shows encapsulate a blend of skill and powerful emotion. The commitment from both artists to put the songs first, is manifest and their willingness to work for each other on stage is inspirational.
Their first duo album released a couple of years ago, Breaking the Silence, Faymus Recordings FRCD 0101, is collection of 15 songs with an “unlisted surprise track”. With this recording the duo displays their ability to write together, perform cover versions by other writers as well as enhance the arrangements of each other’s compositions. It’s the real deal, the complete package.
