Blues singer and writer Mia
Vermillion
performs her genre blending sound of country blues and early jazz with legendary guitar & slide
player Orville Johnson and premier acoustic guitarist John
Miller
.



Mia’s earthy, sensuous vocals are mixed with acoustic and slide guitar. Her music features originals, as well as her interpretation of blues and early jazz tunes. CLICK HERE to see a video of Mia and Orville at the Heart of Women Concert.



Mia is due to release her debut album "Alone Together With the Blues" in January 2009, which features Orville Johnson on dobro slide and acoustic guitar. The record is a magical combination of Mia and Orville; her voice and his guitars. Sample tracks can be heard at  www.miavermillion.com.


Legendary for his dobro slide guitar playing, Orville Johnson has

best dobro player in America.”
