My bubba & Mi

“It just happened that way. Then we became friends and My Bubba & Mi.” is the answer to the question how three girls from Denmark, Sweden and Iceland became room mates in an apartment in Copenhagen. Sometimes life’s that simple.

My Bubba & Mi is a special female trio that reeled us in with their intriguing mix of folk, expert finger picking and vocal harmonies so warm they’ll melt the biggest glacier. They themselves are far more down-to-earth.  “lullabies from the countryside”, is what the ladies call it.

The latter might be a more accurate description, as the trio headed to the sunny, wide fields of southern Italy to record their début. The story goes as follows. An Italian bar-owner was cycling through the city of  Copenhagen on holiday. He was taken in by hypnotising sounds seeping through the window of a small bar nearby. Overpowered by his curiosity the man entered and saw My, Bubba and Mia performing for a small audience. A fan was born. The man invited the ladies to come to Italy to perform their music. “All right”, the threesome said and they left. A second invitation followed soon afterwards, this time to record a CD. “Agreed”, the answer was yet again and they packed their bags. Yes, that’s how simple life can be.

‘How it’s done in Italy’ is the mesmerizing début of My Bubba & Mi released on Beep! Beep! Back up the Truck. The album was released on March 8th 2010 on CD and vinyl. The 1,500 covers are – believe it or not – hand-made by the band members themselves. Each cover is a unique piece of art.

As for now their debut brought the group three European tours and some trips to Iceland and the UK.
