The best kept secret in music
Press
"Miranda's skillful union of her guitar and her voice results in an emotional outburst that makes it abundantly clear to all that she passionately believes every word she sings. Her anger and her tenderness come through with each strum of the guitar, with each push of her voice. This is not just sung from the heart -- it is the heart speaking.
This union of her voice and guitar comes across as a single sound. Whether she's strumming or picking her guitar, the merging of the two is remarkable in its power. It's as if you are there in the room with her as she spills out her guts to you. At times there seems to be almost a stream-of-consciousness construction to her songs, but close attention reveals some very-well structured songs."
