Artist description The band 'mermaid kiss' is a collaboration of vocalist Evelyn Downing and guitarist Jamie Field, together with keyboard/bassist Andrew Garman. They write and produce high quality, original music, varying from the compelling atmosphere of temptation on the track 'mermaid kiss' to the majestic anthem 'blind' with its layers of electric guitars and vocal harmonies. Impossible to catagorise, they simply have to be heard
