Miriam's Bio:
In addition to playing around the South East, USA, Miriam spent two years travelling throughout Latin America holding live performances in Cuba, Argentina, and Colombia. While sharing her own down-home, South Carolinian, Americana style with the Latin public, she performed with professional Latin musicians and absorbed sounds from abroad. THE MOUNTAINS OF MENDOZA is somewhat of a travel log as most songs came out of an emotion or experience from this time period. Miriam's live performances have taken somewhat of a turn as shows now revolve more around dramatically sung world music rather than folk. However, even as songs are played on classical guitar or requinto in alternate time signatures and lyrics sung in Spanish, there is still a hint of the "gospelly" voice of a southern girl brought up singing in church and school choirs. Miriam's musical style is original: a concoction of original folk, swing, jazz, and world music marked by passionate vocals and intelligent lyrics.
