Mia Sable
So, Ms. Sable, where have you been? Or better yet, where are you? Of course, you don’t win Alternative Female Vocalist of the Year 2007 at the Los Angeles Music Awards without someone noticing (among other awards). But here in the heart of the country it is sometimes difficult to keep in touch with all of the very good musicians and vocalists "out there," unless they come and see us.
I am confident that some of the young folks who frequent Creepy Crawl, 2 Cents Plain and other St. Louis venues have not only heard of Mia Sable, but also have experienced her music intimately over the past couple of years. (I should explain that a large portion of the music education of this listener has occurred over several decades around the St. Louis music scene. Not a bad place to learn!!)
I do like "Secret Code" from Propellor (Moduristic Records 2006), as well as "Living A Lie" and "Beautiful Dreamer" from The Scenic Route EP (Moduristic Records 2008). The emotion is something you can touch. Sable not only sings remarkably well, she also speaks through her lyrics, in a way that Counting Crows lyrics speak to the listener, or the way that Pink Floyd lyrics speak to the listener. Matt McKenna on guitar, Ed Maxwell on bass and Jacob Szekely on cello assist sable. Cello!!!! Yes!!!!
Check out www.miasable.com . Great Web site. Sable will sing in Los Angeles a couple of times in February and March, and adds one stop in Austin, Texas. She has the assistance of some great music production people, including those who worked with Heart and Fiona Apple. Good start, Mia!

I wish I had heard of Mia before. She has an amazing voice, but on top of that, she is amazing storyteller. You can feel the emotion in her songs, and that to me is what makes a brilliant artist. I can’t wait to see her in Austin. And she worked with some of the production people who helped Heart? That is awesome. I am still waiting for Heart to make a comeback.
If I had any complaints at all, it would be that she doesn’t really have any upbeat songs. Which is ok because that is her style I guess, but a few here and there might be nice.
I just heard her after reading about her here. She really sings some good songs. She has emotions in her all songs and that really make you think of your life co-relating with the song and that when the video with you as a hero is being played in your mind.
After meeting Mia Sable on her most rescent trip to Toronto
Canada I have to say that I am really impressed. What a great looking woman.
Roberto, did you get to hear her live? I’d love to know how well she did if so. I will have to agree; she definitely is great looking, which can only help her even more in this business.
Mia has always been like the dream that you hope for when you close your eyes at night. The beauty of her voice takes you away on a meaningful journey into her soul. Her approach to life’s challenges inspire the listener to feel the moment for what it is, no matter the outcome. I
Mia is like the dream you hope for when you close your eyes at night. The beauty of her voice takes you on a meaningful journey into her soul where she inspires the listener to face life’s challenges and feel the moment, no matter the outcome. Her beauty is absolutely breath-taking, with a smile as alluring as the first bite of a birthday cake. The artistry and eloquent expression of her life through her lyrics, paint a picture that you will always remember.
