Directory:Vince Mira

[[1]]

Vince Mira is a young singer/songwriter from Seattle, Washington who specializes in country/rock and roll music. His deep bass-baritone voice has given rise to comparisons between himself and Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Johnny Cash. His repertoir consists of several Johnny Cash and Hank Williams songs, as well as originals of his own. For a sixteen year old youngster, his musical talent/ear is far beyond his years.

Life

Born in Los Angeles, CA, and raised in San Antonio, Vince subsequently moved to Seattle, WA. His career began playing Spanish songs in Seattle's Pike Place Market. There he was discovered by producer Chris Snell. The similarity between himself and Johnny Cash caught the ear of Cash's son, John Carter Cash, and led to John producing Mira's first record. To this point, Vince has appeared on Good Morning America and The Ellen DeGeneres Show, as well as done appearances for Seattle's KOMO News. He is currently assisting Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard with a Hank Williams Tribute CD, as well as touring with Stone as part of Timberland's EarthKeeper project.

Discography

Cash Cabin Sessions, released in 2008 by Lucky Label Records, is Vince Mira's first EP. Executive producer Chris Snell, with assistance from Cash's own son, John Carter Cash, aided Mira in his first release. The EP consists of several Johnny Cash covers, including Blistered, Ring of Fire, and a Spanish version of I Walk the Line, as well as two of his own compilations, Cold Hearted Woman and Closer. For such a new country/rock&roll songwriter, Mira's lyrical talents are well beyond his age/experience.
