Michela Musolino has been internationally lauded for her unique ability to reimagine Sicilian Folk & Roots music, alchemized with renowned American musical genres.  Musolino has sung in medieval Sicilian castles and ancient Sicilian temples, NYC landmarks, American honky-tonks, and national folk festivals drawing in listeners and connecting them in a brotherhood of shared emotions and experiences. Sometimes the Italian South meets the American South with ‘Sicilian Folk-A-Billy’ as Musolino,  joined by rockabilly guitar, creates roots music that will make your toes tap and your heart sing.
