Vince Mira sounds like Johnny Cash reincarnated. So maybe it was inevitable that his first release, the EP Cash Cabin Sessions and his original self-titled full length album, was produced and recorded by Grammy-winning John Carter Cash, at the Nashville studio built by John’s late father. But Mira, born in L.A. and partly raised in San Antonio, wasn’t discovered in Texas or Nashville. He was busking in Seattle when a club owner heard that unmistakable baritone emanating from a kid barely out of puberty. (Mira’s parents had moved their eight kids there a couple of years earlier). Local media jumped on the bandwagon, and so did Good Morning America, Ellen DeGeneres and other tastemakers. Currently, Mira is busy writing his second full length original album and has performed over 300 live shows from 2007 to 2009, including playing on the mainstage of 2009's Sasquatch! Festival, and headlining Timberland's DIG IT tour with Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard.
