Mia Riddle sings with a blemished dark beauty that transfigures her solitary guitar melodies and precious, vulnerable voice into an experience, tucked behind ordinary moments and scenes, speaking volumes far greater than certain of her quiet melodies may have you believe. Born in the West, the now Brooklyn based singer songwriter takes influence from both her background and present environment; woodlands, wide open highways, and a glittering Pacific in one song, the escape of an old couple in a cramped apartment hidden between the swishing guitars on another. Her album
Tumble and Drag is filled with these acoustic songs of quivering beauty. Mia Riddle's currently the resident singer-songwriter over at Pete's Candy Shop in Brooklyn, so stop by on a Monday night to see her perform or one of her other dates in New York this summer. -
