Miranda Russell is thrilled to be returning to Gloucester Stage, more than 20 years after she last performed in this magical space. At home on the stage her whole life, her early years in theater served her well in her ability to find and deliver the story within the song. She is widely considered a moving vocalist and nuance performer, and her concerts center on interpretations of the music of the great songwriters of our day. She commits fully to every song and her lively stage vibe continues to make her a much sought-after performer; she “will knock your socks off should you be wearing any this close to the beach” (Boston Phoenix)

Miranda’s performance centers on nuanced treatments of a truly eclectic repertoire. Her interpretation and delivery of popular songs by such luminaries as Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, and Richard Thompson have become crowd-favorites in her pop repertoire. Joined by world class backing musicians, Miranda has equally delighted critics and audiences with American Songbook standards, folk ballads, and up-tempo jazz hits. Her haunting French-language rendition of La Vie en Rose and her spot-on delivery of Richard Thompson’s iconic 1952 Vincent Black Lightning have earned her die-hard fans online (as well in real life!).
