Mia Adams and the Scenic Roots :: 3pm
"Mia Adams' soulful heart and earthy groove infuse her singing and make everyone who hears her feel a little less lonely each time she takes the stage." - Tom Kimmel
In the musical tradition of Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Linda Rondstadt or Maura OConnell, Mia Adams has a knack for choosing undiscovered covers written by top-notch songwriters. She'll also pepper in a few of her own when she's feeling brave. A passionate fan of passionate music, she sleuths for songs at picking parties, songwriter circles, folk festivals, jazz clubs and rock concerts and makes them her own with her silky, earnest alto. She submitted her own compositions to the Jim Beam Country Band Search Contest on a whim. With a combination of her own and others tunes, winning the live competition to a packed house at The Wildhorse Saloon was a surprise as her music is more funky folk pop than country, but it does go to show that she can put across a song. Her cover of Dana Cooper's "Standing in My Own Way" was featured in Lifetime Television's "Marriage Material". And recently she was a finalist in the Great Waters Songwriting Competition and a Runner Up in the Luna Guitars "Tell Us Your Story" Contest
