Mirah's first Australian tour with guest the Smallgoods

2 September 2010 by Jess White

Mistletone proudly presents Mirah on her first ever Australian tour. A dearly treasured artist of indie folk devotees, Mirah will tour Australia as a trio, accompanied by multi-instrumentalist Dave Depper (Norfolk & Western, Jolie Holland) and acclaimed Portland artist Rachel Blumberg, who has drummed for The Decemberists, Bright Eyes and M. Ward.

A live performer of great intelligence and warmth, Mirah has a posse of obsessed fans thanks to her hugely acclaimed albums on respected Pacific Northwest label K Records including C’mon Miracle, Advisory Committee, You Think It’s Like This but Really It’s Like This, Joyride: Remixes and last year’s gorgeous (a)spera.

To quote triple j’s Zan Rowe: “One of my favourite songwriters, Mirah hails from that goldmine of good music, the Pacific North-west of the United States. A lot of creative types come from these shores… there must be something in the water. For years Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn has been making intensely personal, sweet, and musically adventurous songs. Sometimes folk, sometimes gypsy, sometimes electronic, sometimes noise. She rarely repeats herself and always hits that place in your chest where it just kills you to listen to her stories.”

Here's your long awaited chance to hear this prodigiously talented and endlessly creative lady breathe life into her resonant songs of love, loss and magic.
