Miles & Mafale are storytellers with a sprinkling of pop-catchiness known for their plain poetry, clever humor, and unique perspectives. Catherine’s voice – an expressive powerhouse. Jay’s guitar – an immersive soundscape. Their candid and playful style onstage has earned them acclaim in venerable listening rooms and festivals nationwide. Their songwriting has earned them recognition such as Most Wanted Emerging Artist at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, and three-time Kerrville New Folk Finalists. The duo’s new album Be Brave, is “Beautifully made. An articulate page-turner of an album that feels like a short story collection in 10 songs.” - Marilyn Rea Beyer (WFMT 98.7 Chicago - The Midnight Special)
