Meeting the Mickeys for the first time is like heading into
a 90-mph wind. Passionate, driven and vibrant, Amy and
Julie are the compelling musical force known as the
Mickeys. Identical twins, this striking twosome blends
Americana, Country and Folk music; creating a unique
acoustic sound with unbeatable vocals.
The Mickeys have accomplished some amazing feats in their
career. They formed their own record label (RiverBeat
Music), co-produced (with John Albani) and recorded two CDs
- Finding Our Way and Walk Along - and secured nationwide
distribution for the first record - without any assistance.
The sisters co-wrote five of the project's eleven tracks on
Finding Our Way and performed all vocals. Moreover, it's
the vocals that shine on this freshman offering; bell-like
clarity weaves with shimmering harmonies, creating a magic
that is palpable.
Now, with the release of their second CD, Walk Along, the
twins are excited to see what lies ahead on their musical
path. The sisters co-wrote nine of the eleven tracks and
performed all vocals. This sequel offering features the
same breathtaking harmonies as their debut, with an added
depth to the lyrical content. “As we grow as people,
our songwriting abilities will also grow. This CD says a
lot about what we have been through in life and who we
are,” says Julie.
The first Chapter in the Mickeys' book of dreams included a
global press and radio campaign in support of Finding Our
Way - which resulted in two European tours. Chapter Two
unfolds now with the release of their follow-up album Walk
Along. Amy and Julie are well on their way to success; the
whirlwind that is the Mickeys rolls on.
