Mia Dyson, Australia’s ARIA award‐winning (Grammy
equivalent) and beloved Blues rocker, has landed in the
United States and will inevitably take this country by storm!
The combination of soulful lyrics, extraordinary guitar
playing, and her gritty, yet gorgeously haunting voice are a
winning formula.
Mia broke into the Australian music industry with success at radio and ARIA nominations
for each of her three albums in the “Best Female Artist” and won an ARIA for “Best Blues & Roots Album” for her second release “Parking Lots”.
Mia’s reputation and outstanding performances and brilliant musicianship garnered her
national tours opening for iconic artists including, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, and Joe
Cocker and has been featured at many major music events including Montreaux Jazz
festival, Byron Bay Blues and Roots Festivals (Aus) Winnipeg Folk Festival (Canada)
and WOMAD, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, Salmon Arm Blues and Roots Festival,
Vancouver Island Folk Festival, Central Park NY Summer Stage w/Ani DiFranco and
many more. Mia has done two North American tours playing from NYC to Los Angeles.
Mia’s long time bassist James Haselwood and sound man Lloyd Barratt have also come
to the U.S. with her and have chosen Boston, MA as their home in order to capitalize on
its thriving communal music scene, and using Boston’s most talented musicians to tour
with her. Mia will be touring North America extensively playing clubs and festivals
across the country.
Loaded with deeply‐felt, closely‐milked ballads, Cold Water is a stark, soulful
wonder, driven by Dyson’s husky temptress of a voice and her very spare, very
bluesy guitar picking and strumming” (four stars) ‐‐Jeff Apter, Rolling Stone
She’s a guitarist, songwriter and singer, but it’s her voice ‐ more guttural than
just gravely, more touched than merely smoky ‐ that is the showstopper. Skinny
young white girls aren’t supposed to sound this big and soulful.” ‐‐Sydney Morning Herald (Australian Daily)
