About Me

Bitewing is a musical project born in 1994 and made between Portugal and the United Kingdom. The thirteen year old project has now a repertory of more than seventy compositions. The band is composed by two people, Manuel Geraldes and Joana Esteves and this is something that they love to do…All songs are written, composed, recorded and produced by them.Manuel plays drums and guitar since he was fourteen years old, bass guitar for about two years and played in several bands of originals before joining with Joana in the Bitewing project. Joana plays flute since she is five years old, plays guitar since she was twelve years old and piano since she was about thirteen years old, although her strength is her voice. She sang in several covers bands since 2003. With this they gathered some experience that made them possible to built this project, and most of all it made grow the passion to play for live audiences and gigs.This project was recorded in a little home studio, in Mem Martins ( a little village in the outskirts of Lisbon, in Portugal), and in Bideford (a little town in the Devon county in the UK). Their music represents their feelings, their state of mind in the last few years and other possibilities as a director, watching other characters and realities of the world!!Our dream is to go around the world showing our love for music to everyone and be able to do it as a way of living.
