Welcome Myra Flynn to Paradiso! We're honored to host Vermonter Myra Flynn for a three-night June residency. Each evening will feature a deep vinyl listening of Myra’s newest release "Shadow Work" followed by a live performance! Join us after for a post-show set by Myra and friends.
About Myra:
Myra Flynn is a lyrical storyteller, who uses her voice to empower, inspire, and even educate. Her uncategorizable and unique blend of indie/soul/folk/R&B original songs combine soulful vocals with a lyrical delivery that doesn't let one get too comfortable. As the New England Deli magazine puts it, "Her vocal influences have as much in common with Ani Difranco and Shawn Colvin as they do with Rihanna and Jill Scott."
Myra’s impressive resume ranges from singing/songwriting, to fearless journalism, handmade jewelry, and most recently an exploration and celebration of vinyl DJ’ing. Her performances bring passion, energy & enthusiasm not to be missed.
Myra’s latest album, Shadow Work, was released in the summer of 2023. Margaret Grayson of 7days describes Shadow Work as "... five songs deeply concerned with relationships of all kinds. Flynn, who splits her time between Vermont and Los Angeles, sings of mothers and daughters, romantic relationships gone wrong, and the people who get us through the hardest times. She considers big questions about how a person ought to be in the world, but she conducts her case studies on the most intimate of stages. In certain moments, she questions herself, wondering if she's doing enough for the people she loves; other times, she offers full-throated declarations of her own worth in the world. The same song can hold both sentiments, and Flynn's ability to capture complicated, conflicting emotionsin her lyrics swept me away."
