ES:MO Elizabeth Shepard and Michael Occhipinti Performing at Ladybug’s Mew

two imaginative musicians who create music that is uniquely their own. ES:MO fuses a love of songwriting with the great musicianship they’re known for as perennial Juno Award nominees (individually Michael and Elizabeth have a combined 19JUNO nominations) and veterans of Canada’s music scene.

Michael Occhipinti’s huge palette of sounds and versatile skills has made him one of Canada’s most admired guitarists, and pairing his talents with Elizabeth Shepherd’s soulful and ethereal voice and keyboard work stunned listeners on their debut The Weight of Hope, which received a 2022 JUNO Award nomination. ES:MO 2nd album SUNSHINE IN MY BONES has just been released .
