Michelle Alany, violinist and vocalist, Global Folk Magic

A passionate violinist and vocalist, Michelle Alany has delighted and wowed audiences worldwide.

Specializing in a global acoustic sound that features lush strings, soulful vocals and rhythmic groove, Michelle delivers soulful interpretations of traditional and original Sephardic (Judeo-Spanish), Balkan and Israeli songs infused with her tasty Austin-blues stylings.

She is at home delivering haunting Mediterranean melodies, trading shredder blues licks or gently crafting a sensuous country solo on the fly, bringing her joyous abandon and enthusiasm to any world of music.

As an in-demand touring musician and recording artist, she has performed with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, played for sold-out events in theaters doing movie music or world music ensembles, and brought Texas music to packed Jazz and Blues listening rooms in Europe.

She works closely with top musicians and recording engineers in Austin and New York, and is currently finishing songs for her first solo album, following the success of her first album with her band Nefesh.
