“Shades of Bright Eyes and Ryan Adams, with lovely words and tunes.” – Jeremy Taylor, Radio New Zealand National.
After a spell in New York City and a recent solo tour of Europe, Miles reunites with The Rumours for their first hometown headline show in over a year. The band will play a special intimate show at Meow on Sunday November 15.
A story-telling folk songwriter from Wellington with an expressive voice and raw confessional songs, Miles Calder began writing songs during his university years in Wellington, New Zealand. Drawing inspiration from Neil Young, Ryan Adams and Bob Dylan, as well as the sprawling natural landscapes that he was studying, Miles developed a distinctive Americana songwriting style with narrative lyrics.
In late 2013, Miles released The Crossing Over EP with his band, Miles Calder & The Rumours (Nick George, Steve Moodie, Kirsten Moodie and Andrew Moore), exhibiting raw honesty and eloquent storytelling with seven succinct country and folk originals.
The EP was nominated for the 2014 Taite Music Prize (Best Album), the RIANZ Best Country Music Album, and featured on award winning BBC broadcaster Mark Coles’ show The Shed. The singles ‘The Crossing Over’ and ‘The Avenue’ also received honorable mentions in both the International Songwriting Competition and The John Lennon Songwriting Contest.
The band quickly sold out a string of headline shows in their home town of Wellington and were selected to support M. Ward (USA) and Fly My Pretties (NZ). They are currently finishing production on their debut full-length to be released next year.
