Slip, slop, slap – on February 24th, local singer-songwriter Mia Pisano celebrates her debut single “Sunshine Coast” at The Retreat Hotel. Mia is splashing onto the scene with a scathingly witty country waltz, alongside hyperlocal folk artist Possum, and Queensland native Rhiana Jay as support. Dress code: sun smart.
Hailing from Naarm (Melbourne, Australia), Mia Pisano’s modern take on folk and Americana is eclectic and unapologetic. Her original music melds the sounds of Laura Marling and Madison Cunningham with a sprinkle of Loretta Lynn’s rebellious wit. A classic storyteller with a bleeding heart, her songs are earnest, eloquent, and meticulously crafted. With each lyric, Mia weaves a vivid web of unfiltered feeling, brought to life with tender twang, upright bass, and fiddle. Mia has been recognised as one of The Push’s “25 under 25″ in 2023 for her dedication to the craft of songwriting, alongside praise from Tania Doko, Kate Miller-Heidke, and Katie Wighton.
