Mirah
Add To My Artists

Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn was born September 17, 1974, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and has released a number of albums under the K Records label. She has collaborated with her close friend Phil Elvrum of The Microphones and has also worked extensively with The Black Cat Orchestra.

Mirah is the youngest of three children and lived in Bala Cynwyd, a suburb of Philadelphia for most of her childhood. She then moved to Olympia, Washington and attended The Evergreen State College. She is modest and deliberate, prefers privacy to invasion and reconciliation to war. Mirah is Jewish and her middle name means "good day" or "holy day" in Hebrew.

Mirah visited South America, specifically Argentina, and was so struck by the music and culture that several songs on C'mon Miracle reflect this experience.

Traditionally a solo performer, Mirah struck out in late 2004 on a Southwestern US tour for the first time enlisting a band. The band comprised of Nora Danielson (who is featured on recordings by the Mountain Goats, The Intima, Tara Jane O'Neil, Liarbird, & Young People), Dan Sasaki (Enemymine, Sedan, The Old Haunts), Themba Lewis (Liarbird, The Intima, Tara Jane O'Neil, [Read more]

Blair
Add To My Artists

There are multiple artists known as Blair:

1. At only 23 years old, Blair has been a staple of the New Orleans' music scene for the last seven years. She began performing at local coffee houses and open mic nights when she was only 16. By 18, Blair found herself performing at some of her hometown's most venerable rock clubs such as the Howlin Wolf and House of Blues. Opting to wait until after college to make music her full-time occupation, Blair would sneak away between classes as a philosophy major at Loyola University New Orleans to the university's music building to hone her skills at writing and performing. Blair released a full length CD in 2004 and was able to open up for some of the country's most popular indie bands stopping through New Orleans, such as Cat Power, Calexico, and Bright Eyes. She was also able to collaborate with local favorites and Warner Brothers' recording artists World Leader Pretend. With summer of 2007 approaching, Blair has established a dedicated local fan base, finished her philosophical studies, and has a four-song EP "in the can" set for summer release (produced by Keith Ferguson of World Leader Pretend).

For the first time in Blair's life, there is a freedom to go forward, without a net, and focus solely on her music with the upcoming release of Pluto.

Blair's new EP, Pluto, is titled after the sudden and drastic changes she experienced in New Orleans after the hurricane. A marriage of alt-country and folk-tinged pop music - combined with a captivating falsetto voice - Pluto aims to create the same kind of intimacy between listener that she recalls from her first experiences listening to rock and pop radio. A personal expression during Blair's transformation from youth to adulthood, Pluto is a personal snapshot of a place in time.

2. BLAIR is a National Poetry Slam Champion and a Callaloo Fellow. He's an award winning singer / songwriter who's been nominated for seven Detroit Music Awards. He's been named Real Detroit Weekly Readers Poll's Best Solo Artist and The Metro Times Best Urban Folk Poet.

BLAIR has toured the United States and Europe extensively and performed in South Africa both solo and as part of Walk & Squawk's The Walking Project of which he is a co-writer and cast member. He has performed on bills with Stevie Wonder, Oscar winner Michael Moore, Mike Doughty, Bitch and Animal, Justin Bond, members of Sweet Honey in the Rock, Richie Havens, The Butchies, Tribe 8, Wilco, Cat Power and others.

Urban folk, afro-punk, singer-songwriter, poetry slammer, gay activist, Blair is our kinda dude... the kind of ambitious versatility we like.
