"When you listen to hundreds of new releases every year, it's refreshing to hear one that has Soul and lots of feeling to it. Miriam's Well hit that spot for me...Check it out!"
-The Big B.A. KINK Radio 101.9FM, Portland, OR
“Miriam’s Well is one of the most exciting bands to come out of Portland in a long time. Miriam’s unique soulful and bluesy voice is complemented and highlighted by the backing of a truly outstanding band...A force to be reckoned with...
- Robyn Shanti, host of The Dharma Well on KBOO 90.7FM, Portland, OR
“Like heroin...incredibly addictive!” – a fan
Miriam’s Well is a unique blend of rock and soul that holds echoes of decades gone by, when rock was raw, powerful and unprocessed. Singer and songwriter Mir German, doesn’t play a set so much as embody it, pulling the music from a deeper place – a well of sound and images, emotion and power, her voice riding a ragged edge of truth bringing depth and dimension to every song.
Mir and partner Mark Bowden, co-writer/producer/guitarist are an inseparable team of melody and groove. Miriam’s Well is their vision combined with the best musical talent Portland has to offer. What you get at a show isn’t just a performance...it’s an experience that dissolves the boundary between audience and band. It pulls you into the moment and holds you there.
Mir has performed at clubs and festivals throughout the US and Canada and was featured on MuchMusic in Canada. As a solo act she has shared stages with Shawn Colvin, Carlene Carter, Spencer Davis and Taj Mahal to name a few.
Her first record "The New York Sessions" (recorded in Woodstock NY) features guest appearances by bassist Brad Houser (Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians), drummer Eric Parker (Bonnie Raitt/Joe Cocker)and guitarist Adam Widoff (Lenny Kravitz).
A move westward to Portland, OR, and a series of recording sessions for a 2006 EP led to the formation of Miriam’s Well. A rising regional profile and radio airplay brought Mir to the attention of songwriter Lee Garrett (“Signed, Sealed, Delivered”). The combined efforts of Lee, Mir and Mark will debut with the upcoming full length CD Indians and Clowns, scheduled for a Fall 2009 release. ‘2’, the pre-release double single for Indians and Clowns is at radio and retail now.

Why Yes! Yes! Yes! sweetie it would be my honor. Can't wait to hear the CD. You and Mark are some of the most talented folks I know and such a breath of sweet fresh air to work with. Keep me posted on how you are doing. We still need to go to church together. Let's make it happen in September if time permits.
Thanks for adding me on! I'm happy to be on your list.
My 5th CD is steadily heading towards a Fall release and is sounding great so far. Money is tight, though, and you could make a big difference by simply buying some of my music from www. philputnam. com or iTunes. Your support is much needed and greatly appreciated.
