Mirah tours in short spurts

It's only fitting that Northwest chanteuse Mirah, whose voice mews and coos with whimsy usually reserved for those who still believe in unicorns, will tour this fall teensy-weensy bits at a time.

A three-day jaunt with K Records labelmate Melanie Valera's Tender Forever has come and gone already, but don't you fret—it's not too late to catch a date on the next two legs of the Twee-Folk Triathlon 2008 if you hurry over to the right cities.

After a brief solo affair at Musicfest NW, Mirah will round out September shows on the West coast performing with entomological Share This Place collaborators Spectratone International. Then, moving Eastward, she'll cross the finish line hand in hand with Vancouver dance-pop troupe No Kids.
