2009-2010 has quite an adventure for Ana Miura. Most recently having performed alongside Bruce Cockburn, Steven Page (former Barenaked Ladies) and Joel Plaskett, doors have been opening wide for this warm-hearted folky.



"Cockburn, Plaskett and Page were fantastic in this intimate setting, but Miura provided the charm that made it special. With her sweet smile and bubbly demeanour, the young mom put everyone at ease, breaking up the testosterone levels with delicate songs that delivered a frank feminine perspective." - Lynn Saxberg, Ottawa Citizen



An international touring artist, Ana has performed at three Canadian Embassies in three Central American countries: Costa Rica, Honduras and Nicaragua. She has also been a featured musician for the Embassy of Japan in Ottawa, singing both in English and Japanese, as well as with the Embassy of Austria. Ana also tours regularly in Canada and the USA. She has shared stages with Sarah Harmer Harmer, Broken Social Scene and Rick Fines.



Alongside her solo career, Ana founded and chairs Babes for Breasts (B4B). As founder of BFB, Miura takes female singer/songwriters across Canada to raise funds for a variety of breast cancer charities. Performing as well as tour managing, to date the “Babes” tours have raised tens of thousands of dollars.



Miura’s current release, The Kindness of Years, is a full length follow up to her well received EP’s: Tenacious Heart (2005) and Mercury Rising (2007). In her next project she would like to record a selection of Japanese songs including popular songs as well as translated versions of her own compositions.



The future looks bright: Ana shines with intimate, sweet vocals, fluid guitar style, and a light all her own.
