Myra Flynn  Is Our Sonic Bids Emerging Artist of The Week

previous...

Myra Flynn's symphony of words and simplistic approach won us over! A very talented young lady whose beauty on the outside matches her insides, now that is hard to find. We think Myra Flynn is an artist to keep your eye on.

Myra Flynn is a singer/songwriter hailing from central Vermont. Her live shows blend indie soulful vocals with an engaging stage presence and a down home folk feel. She maintains a busy performance schedule in Vermont and beyond.
Myra’s vocal stylings have been compared to the likes of Erykah Badu, Adele, Leela James, and Norah Jones and she counts Joni Mitchell among her lyrical influences. A versatile musician, Myra performs as an intimate solo act, or a duo with musical collaborator Paul Boffa as Quiet Songs, or backed by her tight veteran band Spark. In each format, she delivers earnest original songs and obscure covers to a growing fan base.

At age 16, Myra left Vermont for the bright lights of New York City, earning three years of studio/learning time with Wyclef Jean’s Refugee All Stars. She has since opened for Ivan Neville, Alexa Ray Joel, Slick Rick, and Lee “Scratch” Perry.
Emphasizing, “I was a writer before I was a singer,” Myra is also a working journalist. Her original compositions, some including her own spoken poetry, reflect maturity as both a writer and a performer.
