Miranda Ferriss Jones is a unique artist whose voice and songwriting transcend category. Her music spans genres- one song is reminiscent of early 60’s pop, ala Burt Bacharach, another sounds like something straight out of Sondheim’s ‘Sweeny Todd’, and yet another marries soul and folk in the vein of Laura Nyro. Her advanced sense of harmony and her love of jazz are evident in her complex chordal movements, while her melodies engage your heart and are left pleasantly running through your mind hours after listening.
Miranda is a master storyteller and her subject matter is as versatile as her influences. Her lyrics spin spellbinding tales of the Salem witch trials, lonely little dolls, climate change, Margaret Atwood inspired characters, and good old fashioned love and heartbreak. As Bob Weir has said: ‘Each of her tunes is a song novella.’
