Ari & Mia, Boston's Americana sister act, are a soulful and spirited acoustic duo exploring the traditions of Southern Appalachia, Northeastern fiddle music, and the realm where their own compositions cross paths with older traditions. Their hearts also lie with early American jazz and contemporary influences. Combine this with their bold approach to song and tune-writing and the result will open hearts and dance floors. SingOut magazine says, "Their own works are soothing and fresh... tasteful and accomplished." Their newest album, "Unruly Heart," ranked high on the national folk radio charts for 2011 and Mia's song "Across the Water," won the 2010 John Lennon Songwriting Contest in the folk category.
