Indie-folk seamstress and longtime Microphones associate Mirah is taking it overseas this January, spreading the winter cheer to those of you who are into that kind of thing. Mirah recently released a collaborative album with Ginger Brooks Takahashi "and friends," spookily titled Songs From the Black Mountain Music Project and released, customarily, on K Records.
