Vince Mira

To say the career of Seattle baritone Vince Mira has followed an unusual trajectory would be more than a bit of an understatement. Discovered busking at the famous Pike Place Market by entertainment gadfly Chris Snell in 2005, within a few short years Mira would perform live on both The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Good Morning America – at the age of fifteen. After being discovered by Snell, Mira honed his performance skills at Seattle’s Can Can, blowing away audiences with both his startlingly spot-on Johnny Cash covers and compelling originals. As fate would have it, Mira would go on to record his first release with John Carter Cash at the Cash Cabin in Nashville. Cash Cabin Sessions was released in 2008, and an eponymous follow up – again recorded with Cash – was released the following year. During this time Mira played hundreds of shows across the country, including stops at the main stage of the Sasquatch festival and Austin City Limits. His newest album El Radio consists of all original music written by Mira and is the sound of an artist intent on redefining his legacy. El Radio is a portrait of a life steeped in music, an artist’s heart worn proudly on his melodic sleeve. Hard to pin down, it’s both Country and Spanish, mornings in his mother’s kitchen, nights on stages across the country. Both road-worn and hearth-warmed, with El Radio, Mira is finally, truly, home.
