Press - Past & Present
Hailing from Upstate NY, singer, guitarist and songwriter, Miche Fambro, specializes in a more quiet storm - a delicate blend of acoustic folk, Brazilian tropicalismo, and metaphysical introspection - on the Chapel Session CD. The album was actually recorded in a church… and you can practically feel the ambient hush hanging over Fambro’s elegant picking, and the sweet longing and devotion in his singing… Beautiful, earnest, soulful.

…..Mick’s theoretical grasp of music was staggering, and he could articulate it thoroughly. But he was self-taught, “in life as well as music.”
“His idiosyncratic, yet highly natural way of playing acoustic guitar, his smooth, warm and silky voice that reminded me of Nat King Cole and Sinatra,” wrote promoter Augustin Wiedeman, who brought Miché to Germany for an international guitar festival. “The wit of his arrangements, his storytelling, his supernatural charisma — all added up to one of the most fascinating and underrated American musicians of the last decades.”
Those who knew him best recall Mick as sweet, a great listener, a wonderful human being. “Meeting him in person in Germany,” Wiedeman wrote, “I found he was one of the nicest and (most) loveable human beings that I have ever encountered.” Or this from Scott Bradley, “If he’d been tone-deaf and completely untalented, I would have loved him.”

“Mick, he always thought of his own life as a story,” Wendy (Miche’s wife) said by phone from her home on Conesus Lake. “What I wanted to do was create a documentary to help him finish his story."
But a documentary that would then be useful, not just for people who knew and loved Mick, but for people who had never heard of him before, she added, “…that had never heard his music, maybe didn’t like his music, even,” Wendy said with a laugh. “But would find something inspiring in the life of a human who just keeps at it, keeps living from their authentic self, keeps re-inventing themselves, around this core purpose. I find it personally inspiring to live with that kind of a person, and thought that there was a lot to share there.”
