These will be unique shows with Miriam road-testing new songs and playing material from her critically acclaimed 2009 album Magnetic. This will be your last chance to see her on home-turf for some time as she departs for New York, America to being recording a brand new album with one of the world’s most exciting producer/engineers, Chris Coady.
Having worked with top bands Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV On The Radio, Grizzly Bear and Santigold, Chris Coady is name-dropped as one of the top “next generation producers” by avid music watchers, The Guardian (UK) and one of the most sought-after producers in the industry.
Prior to heading into the studio with Chris, Miriam is playing shows up the West Coast, Minneapolis, Chicago & NYC.
For the NZ tour; multi-instrumentalist Jared Wrennall will be joining Miriam and for the first leg of the tour from Wellington to Auckland she will have special guest folk-pop artist Andrew Keoghan. From Leigh to Whangarei a stripped back version of superb Auckland trio, Nightchoir.
Superb quality musicianship, great songs and a great night out!

ANDREW KEOGHAN is a songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist who combines his classical training in singing and violin, with elements of pop and folk – you could even call it chamber-pop. He released his debut album Arctic Tales Divide in March to fantastic reviews.
Andrew whips up some magic during his live performances, looping his violin, guitar and voice and in general - sounding amazing.
