Mamas Black Sheep is the soulful collaboration of singer-songwriters Ashland Miller (guitar/vocals) and Laura Cerulli (drums/vocals). Together, this duo creates a blend of hit worthy originals and covers with a unique spin. Each song allows you to travel with time, whether youre swinging to Country, Rocking to Pop, Grooving to Soul, or swaying to the Blues; theres always something to move your body and stir your soul! Touring together since 2008, Miller & Cerulli (veterans of the singer-songwriter circuit), will make you feel like every aspect of their journey is in Real-Time. Creating a sound all of their own, Mamas Black Sheep is driven by Millers versatile guitar grooves, Cerullis innovative percussion, and two voices that blend like honey & whiskey in perfect harmonious balance. These ladies rock to their own beat, sharing songs of life and love, and empowering the listener to live boldly beyond the barriers. With three well received CDs to their credit (Unmarked Highway, 2010; Drivin On, 2011; Live @ The Bevy, 2016) the duos newest recording, The Sheep Save Christmas was released in October 2018 to celebrate ten years of Mamas Black Sheep. The new album features some Holiday favorites with a Sheep spin, and a few new original songs including the whimsical title track. Mamas Black Sheep has been burning up the road touring extensively throughout the continental U.S. and the Caribbean, playing nearly 200 shows a year. While much of their touring is done as a duo, they are occasionally seen as a trio, or full band with the addition of Helen Hausmann on violin and/or Christine Havrilla on bass. Ashland and Laura, produce magical tapestries of songs, weaving energetic color and rich texture to create an infectious and lively conversation between guitar and percussion. This thought-provoking duo will tantalize your aural appetite, regardless of your musical taste buds, with a diverse blend of blues, soul, country, pop, and more by unapologetically dipping into the well of all music genres. Its called soulful, poetic story telling with an irresistible groove.
