Olly recently wrote about Mieka’s album “Elijah Drop Your Gun” which got me thinking about another singer Meiko. She is a local singer/songwriter that plays often at The Hotel Cafe, as a matter of fact you can find her there this Wednesday night at 10 pm. Many around town have been singing her praises, including Paste Magazine :
“I arrived in time to catch a gorgeous set from Meiko, a waitress at Hotel Café and from what I heard last night, my pick for their next big success story. If Nic Harcourt hasn’t begun to champion her yet on his ‘Morning Becomes Eclectic’ show, it’s just a matter of time.” -Josh Jackson, Paste Magazine
I mention Maika because I think they have similar music in style, feel and emotion. So if you dig Meika you might just like Meiko.
i’ve seen Meiko twice live, and have had the chance to talk to her. she seems like a great person who has remained humble, and had a great sense of humor. love her cd – check it out!
Mieko self-titled album is a great songs collection. But Mieko’s songwriting is really closer to Sophie Zelmani than Mieka… Take it easy Trini… i’m sure my coming e-mail will help to change your mind
I was searching around for music on iTunes and noticed Meiko’s album was chosen as one of their “Best of 2007″ in the Singer/Songwriter category.
So I bought it.
And that iTunes feature is VERY WELL DESERVED!!
This one will be on my Best of 2008 list for sure!
