Travelin'' Light are multi-
instrumentalist Mel Watson, formerly of the Australian band
Fruit, and Corbin Keep, virtuoso cellist. Together, they create
an aural feast of transcendental "free folk". Incorporating
trumpet, soprano saxophone, and flute, Corbin and Mel use
improvisation to expand the possibilities of musical expression
and live performance, creating an exciting and inspirational musical
https://www.tradebit.commalizing their partnership less than a year ago, Mel &
Corbin have harnessed their prolific and accomplished individual
creative energies into one incendiary package. Known best for her
award winning musicality, “She is up there with some of the jazz greats
(Canada''s Ingrid Jensen comes to mind), playing horns, saxe’s, flute,
percussion... Watson also uses her voice as an instrument, emulating
sounds in an aural scat, reaching tones that would give Mariah Carey
and Celine Dion hernias...”Her genre-crossing, innovative
musical boldness is infectious – supporting and playing alongside
artists like Michael Frante, Bruce Cockburn, The Neville Brothers, Jane
Siberry and the great Tommy Emmanuel- and a force behind her
involvement in over 16 independent releases (including four solo) and
extensive world-wide touring. Personifying terms like ‘creative’ and
‘inspired’, Mel lives, sleeps and breathes her song. The ‘Wild Cellist’
Corbin Keep brings his own frenetic style of playing, engaging audiences
like a master - “one moment profound, even spiritual, and the next
bursting with spontaneous humor – pushing boundaries and transforming
this thickly traditional instrument into a tool for musical experimentation”.
"Corbin Keep''s contributions at the Kispiox Valley Music Festival was
like having a virtuoso''s virtuoso....his technical mastery and innovative
techniques.....you will see very few performers who can improvise the way
Corbin does”.
