Miriam Jones is a bold writer with a restorative, liberating, and whimsical voice. Her sound shares characteristics with the likes of Beth Orton, Norah Jones, Sheryl Crow, and Delores O’ Riordan. Miriam shows herself at home in an acoustic and harmonic geography akin to David Gray, Iron & Wine, and Simon & Garfunkel. Her work is arresting in its artistry, but also possesses a lyrical depth intent on engaging the thoughtful listener. “…a style of heart felt yearning from a performer that compels your attention.” Halifax Herald Miriam recently exchanged Canada’s East Coast for its West, returning to the city where she was born, and is quickly establishing herself on the Vancouver music scene. Her song ‘Squander’ from her debut album ‘Sign & Semblance’ aired last April on the new Canadian hit TV series ‘Falcon Beach’, and her single "Always Been Between" from her new album "Being Here" which is being released on February 8th, is already receiving airplay from CBC. Two of her songs have advanced to the next round of judging in the 2006 International Songwriting Competition. "Miriam Jones' sophomore album ‘Being Here’ is a well-written, well-produced effort that found its way onto our playlist moments after arriving in the mail. Jones' strong songwriting lends itself to a seamless blending of country and pop sensibilities on what is in essence, a lovely folk album. ‘Being Here’ is a fun, sometimes poignant, and entirely enjoyable effort from one of the West Coast's rising young artists."
