Someone once wrote that after browsing through Miranda Stone’s web-site they had determined that it wasn’t a folk-singer they were seeing, but rather a “culture.” Her third album, “Seven Deadly Sins” also makes you realize that she’s one of those genuine storytelling types that craft a way of wringing the sacred and the profane out of a few lines. When you see her live, and she starts into one of those stories, you can’t afford to miss a lyric; least you lose a punch line or two. It’s also true that you might get a few stories thrown in that you didn’t bargain for.

Winner of the “Songs of the Heart award” (in 2003, from CBC’s Galaxie rising stars program in connection with the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals), Miranda is a ten year veteran of the road; a singer-songwriter-guitarist who puts community and people in front of pretty much anything else. She’s kind of like a gold mine that you discover; it’s been there all along, under the ground, waiting.

Stone runs her own independent record label, Earthdress Productions.

Her deeply confessional and spiritual lyrics find their home in the music she creates but he is also a painter and a furniture maker, and some of her work can be viewed at her official website.

Since 1999, she has performed mostly solo across Canada and the United States. In Prior years (1990 to 1998) she performed mostly in the Ontario region.

Her partner Chris Hale (who has spent most of his life in India) is the sitarist/vocalist of "Aradhna."

She is currently taking a break from touring to write new songs for a fourth album, build furniture and explore India. Her intention is to tour by doing more house concerts in the future, once the new album is finished.
