Miranda Lee Richards
Miranda Lee Richards is a San Francisco-based musician whose roots lie in the folk and Americana worlds. Though her story includes some heavy hitters in rock — for instance, being taught guitar by a member of Metallica and playing in the infamously volatile indie band Brian Jonestown Massacre — Richards’ work is grounded, beautiful, and dreamy with a mystical edge. She stopped by Serious Business Music in DUMBO, Brooklyn, along with Sammy Smith on vocals, to share a stripped-down, acoustic take on her songs in an intimate environment, and to offer some background on her musical history.
Miranda Lee Richards’ latest album, Echoes Of The Dreamtime, is available January 29th.
