Holly Miranda “Party Trick” Covers EP Now Available May 13, 2016
Holly Miranda‘s stand-out covers EP entitled Party Trick is now available on all digital music services for stream or download.
The 6-song EP includes songs originally written and performed by artists ranging from Canadian hip-hop mega-star Drake (“Hold On, We’re Going Home”) to the hauntingly beautiful melody of the late indie rock pioneer Mark Linkous AKA Sparklehorse (“Hundreds of Sparrows”).
“It’s how I learned to play the guitar,” Holly Miranda says. “I was on a missions trip to Belarus when I was 14 and this girl brought a guitar and taught me “Linger” and “Zombie” by the Cranberries. I’d been playing piano since I was 6, but it wasn’t till then that I really started enjoying playing music. When I got home I started learning every song I could find the chords to online and taught myself that way.” And while the accomplished musician has released three albums of her own acclaimed music, her latest EP, Party Trick, harkens back to her first experiences playing music and showcases just how powerful cover songs can be.
Miranda will be performing in the Northeastern states through mid-June including a set at the Governors Ball Festival on June 4th on New York City’s Randall’s Island. Click here for all dates.
