Jude began playing classical violin at a young age, did lots of practice and went through all the appropriate channels to end up at the Western Australian Conservatorium of Music and playing casually with the Western Australian Symphony Orchestra. She discovered the joys of a wide variety of music and became inspired to write songs with the inspiration from other brilliant musicians, the natural beauty of the south-west coast line and the desire to connect deeper with life.

Lauchie Gillett has been banging and hitting things (sometimes musically) since his mid teens. He's mainly played in the Albany area in a variety of settings from big bands to community orchestras, jazz trios to cabaret bands and pit orchestras to old time dance bands. He has a particular love of Latin American and African rhythms and in Midnight Mahina is able to explore these realms with the band's distinctive cross cultural flavour.
