The Michael Menager Band and Howlin' Mitch and the Habaneros, NSW

Americana folk and electric blues music, Live at The Twyford.

Michael Menager is a California born, Americana Troubadour who for more than two decades has made his home in Tantawangalo, NSW. Michael's third collaboration, Line In The Water, with local music legend Heath Cullen, featured on the AMRAP Regional Chart and debuted on the EuroAmericana Chart in 2024. Michael's lyrics cut along a philosophical edge, his style cuts across the musical spectrum from blues and swing to country and early rock n'roll, and his stories cut through the inner landscape of a poet and traveller.
The Michael Menager Band also features Sats Kramer (electric guitar, acoustic guitar and vocals), Dan Efraemson (violin/mandolin and flute), Ashley Welsh Jones (drums), Dean Gray (pedal steel and mandolin) and Myoung Jae Yi (electric bass guitar).

Formed in 2022, Howlin' Mitch and the Habaneros features blues veteran Howlin' Mitch (guitar/vocals), Sats Kramer (bass), Ashley Welsh-Jones (drums) and Drew Forbes (harmonica). With decades of collective experience, they blend raw energy with soulful musicianship, delivering their original blues. Howlin' Mitch brings 25+ years of touring, a scorching guitar style, and a soulful voice.
