BRAND NEW STUFF ADDED TO THE SITE!

  • Miranda's journal is now moved from the bottom of the main page (where many of you couldn't find it) and is now in an easier blog format. Find it in the left hand menu on the main page.

  • Miranda has been busy doing a few non-music related projects. You can find photos and commentary about those projects under the "Paintings" link and the "Furniture and Carpentry" link.

  • We've gone in and edited some old blogs of Miranda's adding some photos. Check out Miranda's canoe trip (blog entry August 6, 2005) and some photos of her rooftop garden (blog entry July 17, 2005)

  • We're working on getting some photos from Miranda's last trip to India posted in her blog. Look for that later on this week!

3.14.06
TWO ONTARIO SHOWS CONFIRMED

I did a few shows after I got back from India; secret ones that you would have found out about if you were reading my mind. But I want to make sure you know the current plan, without guessing it. I've decided that I'm not going to be doing a lot of shows UNTIL this new album is out. It's a work in progress, and I'm taking my time with it because I've never had to write an album quite like this one before. So if you scroll down, you'll see that I have only two shows so far on the radar this year.
  • BARRIE, ON - SAT. APRIL 1ST - BARRIE FOLK SOCIETY presents a HOUSE CONCERT
  • KITCHENER, ON - AUGUST 4TH-6TH - NIDUS FESTIVAL

There's a 10.00 door cover (or special pre-arrangement bargain with FUR if you are very very poor, for real.

4.22.05 Wow! News! And lots of updates to the site!

eliza and Miranda have been working countless hours for weeks, making the site easier to figure out. Get a load of all the mustard yellow! People were writing us saying they couldn't find stuff, so we dummy-proofed everything. Yellow is your passport to active link fun!

Here's a list of all the new stuff as of 8 PM April 22.

1. Obviously, we have a new home page!
It's easier to get where you need to go. Finding where those MP3's are hanging out ain't like trying to track down a million dollars in 3 hours anymore. You can order CD's through Maple music with one easy click (something you guys with slow computers are totally relieved about!) And look at all those lovely Black and White photos with explanations of what's in each section!

2. Dangerous Writing:
A new introduction page and four new links spanning 2002-2005, with the ability to check out the older archived poetry. This should entertain you for hours.

3. Our brand new contact page� more endearing, more friendly.
Finally, after 4 years, we have a few links up�And, if you want to send snail mail, or book Miranda for a gig, this is the page to check out.

03.05.03 MIRANDA STONE: 15 QUESTIONS

maple music has a feature on "miranda stone: 15 questions" this month on their web site.

"miranda stone's songs are intimate and folky, yet pack a punch. while countering much of the rambling and self-absorption of contemporary folk, her songwriting shines, illuminating all that is life."

1.19.03 NOTE FROM MIRANDA

Dear everyone,
It's 3 am in the morning, and i'm getting ready to head to the airport for a flight into North Carolina, but i feel like i should write a little bit and tell you what's been happening around here. It's been an exciting week.

I don't know if you noticed yet, but eliza added about 100 or so new thumbnail photos into the photo gallery, some of which i still need to write commentary for. I've just finished the writing for "making 7 deadly sins, the booklet" for those of you who are curious about the "realness" of those photos. We've also finished getting the book-list up; about 50 or 60 favourites in various categories... check them out if reading is your thing.

I'm continuing to gear up for an extensive spring and early summer tour through the United States...check out the tour dates, which will continue to be updated and details will follow shortly.

I'm going to be on the Mike Bullard show (the Canadian version of sat. night live, i guess) on Feb. 5th. You can get free tickets for the taping of the show, which happens around 6 pm, or you can watch it nationally on your television sets once the clock strikes midnight. Mark Abraham and Rob Pirsin, who played bass and drums on the 7 deadly sins disk, is going to be backing me up. I'm hoping to convince Mark to wear the kilt he dons when playing with "enter the haggis" (a band to check out if you like wild celtic music)

Toronto's hit music station Mix 99.9 held a songwriting competition not too long ago, and i ended up being chosen as the third place winner. This was very fine indeed, for the money i won will be mostly going to my landlord, my bell canada phone bill, and my gas tank... apparently there were about 1200 entries... and surprisingly, the song that won was the title track "7 deadly sins". You can send the mix 99.9 some email if you want to continue hearing the song played on the air... who knows? maybe they'll play it some more. go to www.mix999.com look in the left hand side bar for "request mix music" and then ask for 7 deadly sins by Miranda Stone. Perhaps a few of you Toronto locals can do some grassroots damage.

Meanwhile, the CBC radio has been supporting the new disk. Avril Benoit at "Here and Now" played four tracks on her show about a week ago, and we have been asked to get disks to the other libraries that service this very fine national radio gem. You can go to www.cbc.ca to find out more about this station.

The CD release is on Feb 20th, in Toronto at the Rivoli (334 Queen St. W) The very lovely Mary Simon will be playing some of her songs at 9 pm, so don't be late!! Tickets are 8 dollars. There's little time left to get advance tickets, and i am thinking that you may not want to wait until the minute you walk through the Rivoli doors to think about that.... i think it's going to be a full house, so please call 416 469 1821. They can be sent to your door if you order early enough, and a map is included.

Getting the CD will now be cheaper and easier for Candians AND Americans...All the albums are going to be carried on the net by maplemusic.com starting Feb 1st. 2003 Maple music features about 250 signed and unsigned Canadian musicians including the Cowboy Junkies, Sarah Harmer, and the Tragically Hip. If you're an American, you'll be laughing all the way to the bank because the exchange is going to work out very nicely for you on this one. If you're planning on getting an album, go there. They're very nice people. www.maplemusic.com

Mostly, that's all the news that i can type right now. It's quarter to 4 in the morning and i need to get into the air. i hope that i will see you at the shows soon. Don't be a stranger. peace to you Miranda
