"The Mountain X-Press"

"Miriam Allen is an acoustic performer with an impressive stylistic range. She turns in lament filled bluegrass-tinged country on songs like 'The Mountains of Mendoza' and flirts with a number of Spanish folk styles that really show off Allen's talent."

Bio

Miriam Allen is a dancer/singer/composer/multi-instrumentalist whose influences come from having lived and traveled for years in South America and from having performed in Argentina, Cuba, Ecuador, and Mexico. In addition to holding performances throughout the Western Hemisphere, Miriam played with the regional musicians wherever she went, and learned the local dialects and dances, doing odd jobs and working as a street performer to pay the way. However, prior to these extensive travels, her childhood musical training was as a "southerner" with gritty singer/songwriter roots in South Carolina. This truly eclectic training has lead to broad-band musical tastes which are represented by Miriam Allen & the Pasionistas in cabaret, gypsy style performances. The music is worldly yet down to earth thus satisfying the listeners' desire to "be at home" hearing southern music mixed with Latin based music. This dualistic feel is accomplished with one venturesome musical group.
