"Your show made me want to go for a nap in the car."
Strange and unexpected things happened on Mia Riddle's recent UK tour. The release of her latest EP on the English DIY Clean It Up! Records turned up a surprisingly dedicated and diverse group of fans. Message board after message board blew up, wondering "Who was that American girl?" Her appearance at a college radio station prompted interns to hop up and down and large tattooed men timidly expressed their love after shows.

Mia has played and written music since anyone can remember. After forming and joining multiple bands on multiple instruments, she finally found the perfect sound, which in the end was just Mia, unadorned. This is music for sleeping in the tall grass, songs your heart already knows, a voice that surprises with its strength and sweetness.


(From 'Last Hours'- UK)
Mia Riddle, to put it simply, has a voice to die for. Everything about her songs, from her voice to her playing just conveys images of romantic and wistful nights, spent doing too much talking and thinking but refusing to have it any other way.
