Roger raps firstly with Nicola Mitchell, the left half of The Mitchell Twins, whose debut EP is out today, and then segues into a clip taken in Gore a couple of weeks ago, with Jenny Mitchell and her father Ron, talking about the songs they wrote for the MLT Songwriters’ Award, one of which made the finals, and ultimately became runner-up.
“Their harmonies matched beautifully, flowing in and out of each other’s lines like the finest woven material.” (Ambient Light).
The Mitchell Twins have a clear musical vision; a blend of folk/country music. Raised in a home full of Dolly Parton, Tom T Hall and Kacey Musgraves, Maegan and Nicola have spent years honing their blood harmonies. They've toured through Aotearoa and Australia, supporting and playing with artists including Nadia Reid, Barry Saunders, Delaney Davidson, The Topp Twins, Fanny Lumsden (AU), and their big sis; Jenny Mitchell. The title track of their debut EP Find a River was nominated for APRA Best Country Song and at Tussock Country Music Festival they came runner up in the NZ Gold Guitar Awards.
