About this concert
Miriam Clancy live performance at Musikfest 2022
Liederplatz Stage presented by Godfrey Daniels - DETAILS TBC
<->
New Zealand Indie-folk artist Miriam Clancy is described as “A voice to move mountains - beautiful, beguiling, bare to the bones, with “an album to lose & find yourself” amongst a host of 5 star and best of the year reviews by her homelands leading music critics.
Lauded as “one of the country’s hottest songwriters” Miriam has a stack of stage cred headlining national tours and supporting Wilco, Mark Lanegan & Ron Sexsmith with whom the NZ Herald headlined “An impressive offering from two finely matched singer-songwriters - Clancy simply enchanted on the bittersweet ballads”, & elsewhere “Concert Of The Year - NZ’s answer to Martha Wainwright - destined to go places”.
Miriam’s recent single Pennsylvania (https://youtu.be/tWZ2hymNq4I) was crafted deep in the Lehigh Valley at the foot of the Appalachian mountains & features alt-country rock heroes Frog Holler. It invites you to ‘get lost & found again in this searing love-letter to Pennsylvania’ in an intimate folk collision where vintage drum machine carries you onward with banjos, synthesizers & the beautifully dueling voices of Miriam, Darren Schlappich & Mike Lavdanski.
With the first single from her new album Black Heart due, Miriam draws upon her organic folk-rock beginnings with an impressive band, bringing each song to life with her voice centered - guiding you forward. Miriam will debut a hand selected set of these new songs.
“A girlie version of Elliot Smith or Jeff Buckley - a soul laid bare, but with a pretty twist." Pulp Magazine

"her sprawling creativity is expansive - it's quite amazing - it explodes through the speakers" Kamikaze Angels Diego Flores-Ghettoblaster Magazine [US]
