"Allen owns a voice that entices the listener to steal it away for selfish keeping. Be warned: To own a piece of her music means shards of the heart will forever belong to her." - Hunter Pope - MOUNTAIN XPRESS

"Beautiful recording .... beautiful music .... beautiful voice" Petr Doruzka CZECH NATIONAL RADIO

"Effortless cool ..... a must for wannabe pirates! (review of 'La Capitana') - Alli Marshal MOUNTAIN XPRESS

"Stirs the heart and celebrates life from all corners of the world" - Robin Tolleson BOLD LIFE

"Miriam Allen has one of the most intriguing and prettiest bilingual voices you will ever hear" - Don Rhodes AUGUSTA CHRONICLE

"Known for her smooth, strong, and sometimes delicate vocals. Allen...is able to sound like a native of Mexico or the Carolinas." - Doug Janz JOHNSON CITY PRESS

"Sultry, Spanish flavored stylings with South Carolina soul" - Laura Blackley WNCW RADIO

"A voice that's honest and earthy." - Raena Morgan CHARLESTON CITY PAPER

"Miriam is one part fun, one part social conscience, and one part quirk. Turn it up with the windows down, get out and dance a little at the stop light, listen carefully and ponder the dark through the lonely stretches, and share life's joys and pains with Miriam and her unique vocal style and creative musical arrangements. She has taken the road less traveled and has produced an album part convertible, part bus pass, and part old pick-up truck. OK, maybe I've taken it too far with that theme. This album is just plain great music. Now, how far do I have to drive to see her play?" Steven Bush - CD BABY REVIEW

"An acoustic performer with an impressive stylistic range" - Steve Shanafelt, MOUNTAIN XPRESS

"full bodied emotion, penetrating intellect, intriguing secrecy, and soothing female charm." - BILLY GARDNER

"Your music makes me want to learn Spanish and drink alcohol." - MAMA FUTCH

It's been a long, long road but the time is almost upon us. After 40,000 miles, 4 national tours, and a head full of American landscape, we've finally finished our debut album, Only Sleeping. We will be having our CD Release show this coming Wednesday, December 10th at The Grey Eagle Music Hall in Asheville, NC. We will be accompanied by special guest, Oso Rey, the show starts at 8 pm, tickets are only $8 and CDs are only $10 inside the door!!! Come join us for this pre-holiday festive extravaganza and be the first to see The StereoFidelics like you've never seen them before (kinda). Some new songs, new approaches, and new gadgetry will set the stage and, of course, enough energy to power a medium sized village. Thanks for your support and see you there!!
