Mark Harris and Henni Linnea met in Nepal in 2015, and have played music together since.
Mark is a Canadian artist and musician based in Paris. His songs and spoken word ring of sacred profanity and the absurdities of life. His work is at once refreshing but ladden, comical yet sophisticated, symbolic yet blatant, and most certainly entertaining. He currently hosts the Cabaret Voltaire and various music nights in addition to performing solo at other Paris venues. He is currently writing a hiphopera.
Henni is a violinist from Finland based in London. Her playing strikes a rare balance between skill and creativity, combining a classically trained mind with the heart of a minstrel. She can be seen performing in orchestras, basements and Himalayan mountain tops, with a repertoire of classical, cabaret, americana and popular music. Henni is is one of the poetry whores at the Poetry Brothel of London, where as Arctic Trixie, she plays songs echoing Northland legend.

She is a founding member of The Little Versed Poetry Collective, & is the subject of the short documentary, “Keleigh Wolf: Glowing in the Aftermath.”
Her work is an act of cannibalism & catharsis, using witchy wordplay, gravity-defying gravitas, & pure absurdity – all housed in the lithe frame of her alternate universe. Her first two collections, “The Thanksgiving Room, & “Bacchus’ Bachelorette” will be followed this year with the publication of “Spilling Myself Dry.” from my iPhone
