A finalist in both the John Hartford Songwriting Contest and the Asheville Brown Bag Competition, she builds solo shows around vocals, guitar, fiddle, and foot stomp, with setlists that range from avant-garde to honky-tonk to Latin.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the stage, Miriam is a passionate advocate and naturalist. She organized The Resilience Festival to support survivors of sexual trauma and the Pathway to Citizenship show to fund immigrant legal protections, and she works as a music therapist in group homes for people with disabilities. A backpacker of more than 1,000 miles through the Andes, Rockies, and Appalachians, she has volunteered to treat hundreds of hemlock trees across Western North Carolina and translated educational materials into Spanish for her community. She wrote a song for the award-winning film Coyote and another that was played for President Jimmy Carter in his final weeks. \u201cWhether for a crime victim, an injured raccoon, or an aphid-infested hemlock, Miriam Allen shows up with a song and an open heart.\u201d Ty Gilpin \u2013 SHIFT Music Services<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>-LIMITED PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE Miriam\u2019s Militia Miriam Allen is a genre-defying songwriter who has opened for icons including Tim O\u2019Brien, Doc Watson, and Del McCoury, performing [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":97246,"template":"","meta":{"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"class_list":["post-97244","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
