“Mia Sheard could make the Tim Hortons jingle sound like an otherworldly invocation to the gods. The local singer-songwriter has a gift for phrasing and a great voice – it wraps itself like a boa constrictor around fragmented melodies, spanning an awesome range and squeezing out a shimmering beauty.” ~ NOW Magazine

Toronto singer/songwriter Mia Sheard has been immersed in the Canadian music scene for over a decade. Mia and some of her favorite fellow musicians launched what’s become the annual Joni Mitchell night at Toronto’s Hugh’s Room, recorded and broadcast for 2009 CBC’s Canada Live. The line-up features critically acclaimed Mia Sheard, Lori Cullen, Kevin Fox and David Matheson (Moxy Früvous) with an all-star backing band. Joni’s music is not easy to play, therefore not often performed by other artists.

Sheard created “Songs Are Like Tattoos” out of her love of singing, her naturally comedic hosting skills, and her love of Joni Mitchell’s music. “I couldn’t feel more at home with this show”, says Sheard. “I get to laugh my heart out AND sing ‘Blue’. What more could anyone want?”

Tickets are $30 adults and $10 students and are available at www.selectyourtickets.com or by calling the RCA 250-717-5304
