Miriam Jones has a way of singing the soul back home without putting it to sleep.
Poppy and light? Yes. Soulful and reflective? Indeed. Folky and human? Absolutely. Jones has a particular gift for writing earth and angels side by side, and a voice to sound them so.

Jones completed her first album in Nova Scotia in 2005 entitled Sign & Semblance, after which she moved to Vancouver where a track from the album called ‘Squander’ caught the attention of Canadian Television’s Falcon Beach producers who then featured it in the show. Learning from the song’s popularity, Jones began honing her songwriting form in its footsteps. Two years later she flew to Nashville to complete her follow-up album, Being Here, assisted by award winning producer and songwriter Charlie Peacock. Back in Vancouver, CBC picked up the album and featured Jones as ‘artist of the week’, and several songs have since been used by various North American indie filmmakers. Jones has recently moved to the UK to promote the album.

"Miriam Jones' sophomore album ‘Being Here’ is a well-written, well-produced effort that found its way onto our playlist moments after arriving in the mail. Jones' strong songwriting lends itself to a seamless blending of country and pop sensibilities on what is in essence, a lovely folk album. ‘Being Here’ is a fun, sometimes poignant, and entirely enjoyable effort from one of the West Coast's rising young artists."

"Miriam isn't just mining the usual female singer-songwriter vein. She's got some fresh ideas, rhythmically and harmonically. It was a privilege to be a part of her new project. I hope lots of people find this music. It's got beauty and surprise all in one package. Which is a lot like life, right?"
