Mick James
Easier Way To Fly
Who are Mick James?
Meeting by chance on the beautiful, volcanic island of Lanzarote, Canary Islands (where they are still based), Mick Bennett and James Lynch founded the musical duo Mick James, who are getting noticed by people in all areas of the international music community.
Their live shows, combining a large concert sound with the urgency and excitement of a small club have become legendary.
Both Mick and James have been songwriters all their lives and have produced an album of their own songs, Easier Way To Fly.
With James´ North American roots and Mick´s Irish origins, their style is an original blend of country, rock and folk – but they have been known to touch upon many other musical styles as well…
Mick Bennett
Mick is a native son of Dublin and inheritor of all its and Ireland´s poetry and music.
