Rochester-based singer-songwriter (and top-notch harpist) Mikaela Davis recently played a gig at the Tralf Music Hall before embarking on a cross-country tour. She also recently released the new single "feels Like Forever," which will likely appear on the follow up to her self-titled 2012 album. buffaBLOG spoke with Mikaela to discuss her upcoming tour, as well as her biggest inspirations.
What piqued your interest in the harp?
My school district offers harp as a stringed instrument to start on in 3rd grade, so I chose it and took lessons through my school! I got a private teacher in 4th grade.What's your favorite album of 2013 so far?
Is this your first time going on such a large tour, and how does it feel?
When can we expect your next album?.
What artists and albums provided your biggest inspiration?
Elliott Smith and Sufjan Stevens were definitely my biggest influences for the album that was released in 2012. I wrote most of those songs in high school and those artists are all I listened to!Are there any songs you wish you had written?
What will you be doing after your current tour ends?
How do you think you've grown as musician since you've begun playing?
I would like to hope I've matured musically over the past 3 years of college. The band has been adding a lot of new sounds that you can only hear live until we release more. The sound of my next album will be very different than the first.How ya gonna do it if you really don't wanna dance, by standing on the wall?
