Quirky, fun and fresh are words that describe INLIMBO perfectly. INLIMBO is a duo made up of Danice Dearborn (guitarist/singer/songwriter) and Shelley Wright (guitarist/singer/songwriter). Danice and Shelley play a combination of covers and originals in their own authentic, unique way.
INLIMBO have wide experience as musicians, supporting major performers The Topp Twins and Jenny Morris and sharing the stage with Jan Hellriegel. They have also recorded at both Tandem and Nightshift Studios and were awarded an NZ Performance Grant to play during the ‘International Year of the Woman’. They are also known for playing at private events such as birthdays, house concerts and weddings.
Danice has been playing the guitar since she was 8 years old and has a particular talent for arranging music and creating gorgeous harmonies. Danice is known for her original song “Rotissary Jaine”, which was No.1 on Canterbury University Radio (RDU) for 8 weeks, with her all-female band “EYEBROWZ– UP”.
Shelley has over recent years recorded her album of original music and was nominated for the Tate music award in 2021. She is known in particular for her catchy memorable songs such as ‘Julia’. She has an innate ability to draw people in and engage with the audience.
Together, they create an un-missable show that is uplifting, highly skilled and enjoyable.
