Off the back of the recent 15-year anniversary reissue of her ARIA Award-winning 2005 album Parking Lots Australian icon Mia Dyson was penned to perform a run of East Coast Australian dates this March. Due to COVID restrictions, Mia has had to postpone all of her upcoming shows but is thrilled to still be able to celebrate the milestone with her VIC and NSW fans, albeit a little further down the road, at her newly rescheduled November dates.
“I’m so sad to say that due to forces beyond my control, I am having to postpone my Parking Lots tour to November. All your tickets will be valid for the new shows except Brisbane where we couldn’t make the routing work and ticket holders will be issued refunds. We’ll get you next time around.
Unfortunately, this also means I won’t be performing at Bluesfest.
I can’t wait to see you all when these shows finally do happen. Thanks for your support and patience.” – Mia Dyson
In her two-decade long career, Mia Dyson has been nominated for five ARIA Awards with Parking Lots taking out ‘Best Blues and Roots Album’ in 2005. She was the inaugural recipient of Double J’s Artist Of The Year at the 2014 J Awards following the release of her Australian classic LP Idyllwild and has had four albums up for AIR Awards with The Moment earning her a nomination for ‘Song Of The Year’ at the 2013 APRA Awards. Mia Dyson’s extensive career has seen her support the likes of Stevie Nicks, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt and Joe Cocker, and most recently touring extensively with her supergroups Dyson Stringer Cloher.
Heading back into the studio in 2020 to revisit five songs from the album, Mia’s Parking Lots (Revisited) EP sheds new light on a selection of her favourite cuts from the record. From beloved single ‘Roll Me Out’ to the stunning homage of motherly love on ‘Rivers Wide’, and the simple yet captivating title track to the empowering ‘Choose’ and heartbreaking ‘I Meant Something To You Once’, the EP captures the sheer musical mastery of an artist who continues to redefine the blues and roots genre, 15 years on, with the rest of her expansive career still to come.
