Michael and Keleren Millham in Recital at Saints Peter and Paul Episcopal Church
Married for 20 years and performing together for over a decade and a half, guitar and voice duo Michael and Keleren Millham have survived a burned-to-the ground apartment complex, car wrecks, music school, countless miles and over 2000 concerts together-all with surprising good fortune. The classically trained duo have taken that training and applied it to the music that moves them. The resulting tapestry of sound has strong roots in classical, folk, and world music (with a bit of jazz and blues thrown in the mix), but their truest and only genre is voice and guitar. Through their compositions and other song choices, the Millhams reach and stretch as broad and deep within this medium as possible; building on, and blending old traditions in a new way. Regularly performing at venues ranging from wine bars and house concerts to radio shows, theaters, universities and festivals, their performances are at once energetic and soothing, and always uplifting.
When not busy impacting west coast audiences with a unique repertoire of sophisticated soundscapes for voice and guitar, they remain busy as teachers; Michael teaching guitar at Gonzaga and Eastern Washington Universities, and Keleren maintaining a thriving private vocal studio. As recording artists, the Millhams have released 3 CDs and have contributed to one documentary soundtrack. They are, collectively, Beta testing artists for L.R. Baggs electronics, and endorsers for AER amps. Michael plays a guitar by Spokane luthier Eric Sahlin.
