Mikaela Davis at Inspire Moore Winery
Event Information
About this event
Mikaela Davis comes to Inspire Moore Winery for the first time on Saturday, July 16th 2022! Join us for a Summer night of good vibes and good wine :)
“This record is kind of about writing a record,” Mikaela Davis says. The 26-year-old is home in her native Rochester, New York, reflecting on Delivery, her highly anticipated full-length album, as well as the hard journey the classically trained, defiantly original harpist had to travel to become the writer and performer, she was meant to be.
“A lot of these songs came from feeling stuck and also like people were pulling me in a bunch of different directions,” Mikaela says. “I wanted to say, ‘just wait for me. I’ll figure it out.’”
Mikaela’s plea for patience – a little bit sweet, a little bit angry and raw – fed a fierce 10-song collection. A joyride that pulls from rock, 70s and 80s pop, and funk, Delivery manages to be both daring and comfortable, full of not just risks, but hooks.
Produced by Grammy-winner John Congleton (St. Vincent, Angel Olsen, David Byrne, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah), Delivery is a triumphant next chapter. “John tries to find that moment instead of the perfect take,” Mikaela says. “That made it all sound really special.”
Childhood friends Alex Coté (drums, percussion) and Shane McCarthy (bass) play on the record – already close from years of touring. Recently, Mikaela’s ensemble became a family affair with the addition of Shane’s older brother, Cian McCarthy on guitar.
Inspire Moore is a winery that seeks to embody the true characteristics of the vineyards in which the wine is developed, to express the true passion and artistry of the farmers who cultivate the flavors.
Our business is all about sustainability. We are a boutique winery producing a few thousand cases a year, composed of aromatic varietal whites, vintage driven varietal reds, ice wine & blends that are defined by small lot production.
We are located in the historical center of Naples, NY where the Seneca Indians once called Nundawao. Our handcrafted wines come with a message: every wine stands for a characteristic we wish to ‘Inspire Moore’ of in the world, whether that be Love, Wisdom, Grace, or many more!
