Miriam Lieberman’s music seamlessly blends African influences with blues and folk infused melodies. Her songs are a collection of stories beautifully told through strings, powerful lyrics and her unmistakable voice. She accompanies her music on kora- ( 21-stringed West African harp as well as acoustic guitar and performs as a trio with the lushious vocal harmonies and soaring string arrangements of Lara Goodridge on violin and Kate Adams on cello.
Miriam released her new album Birds of the Moon in August 2014. Since that time she has toured the album around Australia. Birds of the Moon was made album of the week on ABC Radio National and it has so far been awarded four star reviews in The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Weekend Australian as well as an Aria nomination. With the lilting rhythms West Africa the album travels in mood from the sinister beauty of the Indian city of Varanasi, to a Mexican love story to the bright hope of dawn.
“Lieberman is a robust singer with a sensual yet brittle undertone. Her songs are beautifully melodic, richly textured but can have pointed themes. Simply brilliant!” 4 and a half stars – Jeff Glorfeld - THE AGE
