Female fronted twenty first century Folk/Rock with haunting harmonies and distinctive rhythm. The Purple shoes talk to their audiences through song presenting a quirky blend of English infused Americana with a Folk/Pop twist. The Purple Shoes share thoughts, dreams and small town fairy tales. 
Marie Dance returned to the UK from Thailand, having spent three years touring and recording, clutching a handful of dreams and a bunch of unfinished songs. She ran into singer and guitarist Michael Bickers who was walking around the south coast waving a blank canvas.
Discovering a mutual love for the 60s counter culture and the traditional values of Rock and Roll, the pair headed for the quaint seaside town of Shoreham-by-sea to surround themselves with likeminded misfits and immerse themselves in the flourishing scene. 
Teaming up with seasoned function player Richard Dadson on double bass and acclaimed STOMP chorographer Theseus Gerard on assorted household percussion, Marie and Michael began performing regular shows and steadily started to build a following across the South Coast of England under the name The Purple Shoes.    
In 2016 the band headed up to the celebrated KSI Studios in rural West Sussex to record Marie’s solo album ‘Things Have Changed’. After a successful launch Marie and Mike spent the second half of 2017 promoting the album on an extensive tour of the UK and Southern Ireland.
With their onstage rapport and quirky stage show, interest in The Purple Shoes band began to develop. Despite the success of Marie’s solo album, Marie and Mike decided to turn the attention to the band as a whole and began writing and recording demos for The Purple Shoes debut album upon returning from their tour.

These are nearly all productions from my studio on my boat. All others, I either played on, recorded, or produced.
