Miranda Sykes is bringing her “Out of the Woods Tour” to the Acorn Theatre in Penzance on Sunday, June 9.
Her new album ‘Out of the Woods’ is a collection of songs that have seen Miranda through her own journey of isolation, illness and recovery, and aims to brings listeners as much comfort as they did her over the past few turbulent years.
Miranda explains: “Life is many faceted; like most people I’ve had good times and hard times. I’ve taken some forks in the road I shouldn’t have done and I’ve had some knocks, but it’s all part of who I am now.
“I am blessed that I feel that I am in a place where my “planets are aligning” and I am at peace with myself and my place in the world. “Out Of The Woods” reflects this journey, with its ups and downs, through a collection of powerful and personal songs, sung from the heart that I would like to share with you.”
Miranda started her career as a musician in 1996 at the age of 18, playing bass guitar in a country rock band. After two years touring and playing for line dancing in working mens clubs across Britain, folk-rock band Pressgang were looking for a bass player. Miranda spent the next two years touring internationally with them.
After a few years of musical promiscuity, Miranda teamed up with Pete Zorn in the 2004 Show Of Hands festival band line up. She worked with them for the next 20 years.
2024 brings a second tour with Hannah Martin, a new Baring-Gould Centenary project with Jim Causley, summer festivals with vocal group Daphne’s Flight, a tour with The Phil Beer Trio and a new solo album and tour “Out Of The Woods”.
