Michi is:

"...more fun than a watermelon" -  http://www.jonathanbyrd.com/
"...prescient fiddle" -  http://www.lilfest.com/

Michi skipped her violin lesson one day in 1990 to go to the newly formed Arizona Renaissance Festival.
The next weekend, she was garbed and fiddling for stepdancers. She has performed in Ireland's pubs, England's Sherwood Forest, in Japan and Germany, with mariachi in Mexico, and has studied the science of musical folklore in Ukraine. When she finally went back to that violin teacher, 15 years later, he said "quit playing like a gypsy!" and she realized she was already living her dream.

At a renaissance festival, you will find Michi fiddling in the streets and grinning all day long. She has appeared live and on recordings with these renaissance acts:

-Don Juan & Miguel
-Eddie Jeff Cahill
-Terry Foy
-Tanya Brody/The Muses
-Sarah Marie Mullen
-Cantiga
-Volgemut
-The Bringers
-Three Pints Gone
-SkyLark
-Jem Moore
--and the list goes on.
