Minor Miracles

In December and January of 2010 Mike Lowery (a freelance artist) set up his studio in a five hundred year old house in the (very) rural Vlksen, Germany. The house where his wife had grown up. It was constantly dark, and Mike would spend the few hours of dusky light exploring the small village and gathering wood for the stove. During the hours of total darkness, where even the light inside the house made it impossible to draw, he began toying with a borrowed guitar and an old drum machine that a neighbor had in storage. 

When he went back home to Atlanta, Georgia, Mike played a few of his ideas for Josh Branham and Mark Priddy, two musicians that Mike had played with in several projects for about a decade, and they decided to get together for a recording project. They invited Matt Little, a drummer and producer from Littlest Sounds Records to join them, and they decided to start playing shows and recording as Minor Miracles.
