Damsel

The indie-folk duo integrates their background as classical chamber musicians with folk music leanings to create an intricate instrumental sound around tight vocal harmonies. The singing-songwriting team is Monica Mugan on vocals/guitar/ukulele and Beth Meyers on vocals/viola/banjo/ukulele. Damsel has performed on iconic stages in the U.S. including Club Passim, The Bitter End (featured on John Platt’s ‘On Your Radar’), Jalopy, Le Poisson Rouge, Rockwood Music Hall as well as DeBarra’s Folk Club, Whelan’s, Levis’ Corner House and The Sugar Club in Ireland.

Pulitzer Prize winning Irish poet and former New Yorker editor, Paul Muldoon, had this to say of Damsel’s debut album, ‘Just Sit So’: “The surface of a Damsel song may be sweet and sonorous, but what’s going on under the surface is more often than not spiked and steely. That’s just one reason I love this CD.” Their second album, “New to You,” is available through Bandcamp.
