Award-winning Australian singer-songwriter Mia Dyson is thrilled to unveil her new single ‘Gambling’.
She’s announced an Australian headline tour in support of the new track, with a string of dates around the country including a gig in The Brewery at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Saturday 9 December.
’Gambling’ is the first taste of her brand-new album, due out early 2018.
“The thought of choosing to be vulnerable is scary before I act on it. And, being vulnerable is the most fulfilling way I have found to live. ’Gambling’ is a reminder that this moment is the chance to either live life on life’s terms; or to let the chance for an experience slip away in positive or negative fantasy,” says Dyson of the new single.
In January 2017, Mia headed to legendary music mecca Muscle Shoals, AL to record a new album with Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes, St Paul and The Broken Bones) behind the controls. Joining her in the studio was longtime drummer Erin “Syd” Sidney, original ‘Swamper,’ David Hood on bass, and John Paul White (The Civil Wars) on background vocals.
Dyson, who currently resides in Los Angeles, will return to Australia this November for an extensive run of shows along the East Coast in addition to her festival performances at Inland Sea Of Sound Festival, Bitter and Twisted Festival, SS&A and Queenscliff Music Festival.
Mia Dyson has toured with the likes of Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt and many more. A multiple ARIA and APRA award-winning artist, Dyson was recently named one of Australia’s top 25 guitarists of all time.
Her albums have been widely praised. The Moment received four stars in Rolling Stone Australia, while Idyllwild was hailed as “brilliant” by Daytrotter, and debuted in the CMJ top 100 in the US. Mia also scored a win as Double J Radio’s “Artist of the Year”.
