Wishing Chair
Combining singer-songwriting and 'trad-grass', this 2003 release is a fabulous collaboration between Wishing Chair and traditional/bluegrass instrumentalist Kara Barnard. Miriam and Kiya first met Kara while playing at the National Women's Music Festival in 2000. Audience response was so great that they have joined forces for special performances. A wonderfully live and acoustic-sounding record, it features great Wishing Chair originals - including title track which is a tribute to Mother Jones which won finalist spot at Kerrville Folk Fest - plus Carolina, Beautiful Soul, the banjo instrumental Silk Mill Girls, as well as many traditional favorites... with accordion, guitar, banjo, mandolin, dulcimer, bass. Highly recommended for all who love great acoustic music!
