Mia Dyson couldn’t have asked for a better start to the year than she had with the release of Idyllwild. The album scored a Double J feature run, a premiere on US industry bible Billboard and multiple four star reviews. There is a pretty cool backstory to the album’s title track over at Dyson’s official site. Like many good things, it begins in a sweaty bar and ends around a campfire. Mia released her debut album in 2003 and has since supported names including Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton, Chris Isaak, Joe Cocker and Stevie Nicks. Harvester Moon, Bellarine – October 9; Old Hepburn Hotel, Hepburn Springs – October 12; and Beav’s Bar, Geelong – October 19. * Mia will also take in Meredith.
