Fleuke & Carter Hulsey at Moondogs

Fleuke, aka Michaela Sheranko Walz, is a New England based indie artist that blends raw lyricism with grunge soundscapes. Raised singing in church and self-taught on piano and guitar, she developed an early instinct for harmony and songwriting. After moving to Nashville in 2014, Fleuke found her footing in writer’s rounds, deepening her love for storytelling through song. Years of co-writing shaped her voice, but it was a turning point diagnosis of chronic Lyme disease that ultimately redefined it. Returning home for treatment, originally felt like a setback but ultimately became the turning point for Fleuke. Reconnecting with childhood friends, the project evolved into a full band, grounding her introspective writing in a more expansive, textured sound. With the band, Fleuke has opened for Judah & the Lion at the House of Blues Boston, completed her first independent Midwest tour, and continues to grow their presence across New England. They are currently preparing for their second independent tour this June. Rooted in resilience, Fleuke’s music explores heartbreak, healing, and the complexity of being human, offering listeners a space to feel understood in the in-between.
