Mia Borders: Home

Why, hello there! June was CRAZY! We had so much fun and we owe it all to our wonderful fans! First, we had some really great shows, so thanks to everyone who came out (especially our peeps in Montana!). Second, we finished in first place in our genre on OurStage's "Artist on the Verge" contest. WOW! Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to vote and spread the word. It means so much to us and we love you all!

Few things: we posted a new slideshow video on our YouTube page, so you can look at photos of us from this past amazing year while jamming out to "These Roads" from our latest album, "Magnolia Blue." Also, we just heard that Lady Gaga (what a nutter) hit 2 million Twitter followers. Let's give her a run for her money. We're so close - we have 89... :0) ! Lastly, we still have some seriously awesome music for sale at our website and on iTunes! Hit that hotness up!!

Anyways, we hope everyone had a great and safe 4th of July and that you can make it out sometime this month to see us. Here's where we'll be:

We're taking the stage at this weekend's Mount Helena Music Festival in Helena, Montana.

Hey, peeps!! We've got lots of news for you. Brace yourselves...

We've been nominated by the New Music Seminar and OurStage as an "Artist on the Verge." Ah!!!

The “Artist on the Verge” project is a closed competition for nominated artists by some of the biggest names in the industry such as OurStage, MySpace, Facebook, ReverbNation and Tommy Boy Records. “Artist on the Verge” is designed to expose these talented artists to some of the top media, tech and music industry executives. Three lucky Rock, Pop, Urban, Singer/Songwriter or Specialty artists will be selected from the NMS “Artist on the Verge” entries to showcase at the New Music Seminar and be critiqued by a panel of industry executives on July 20, 2010 in NYC. The grand prize winner, from the artists showcased, will walk away with over $40,000 in consultations, promotion, marketing and music equipment!

Help us out by judging the competition here.

Here's how it works:

You can judge the 36 songs in the competition either 4 at a time, ranking them "Best" to "Worst," or 2 at a time, head-to-head (this goes much faster and the songs don't automatically play). Once you've listened to at least 15 seconds of a song one time, you can rank it and move on without having to listen again. It's tedious, yes, but the more you judge, the greater your influence is, so KEEP JUDGING!! 

AND "Magnolia Blue" is now available to download from the iTunes Music Store by clicking here.

 

 

 

 

Don't forget that "Southern Fried Soul," "The Nashville Cuts," and "the ep" are also available to download!

AND here's where we'll be the rest of this month. Hope to see y'all around town. You know we love to see you!

Love & Luck, 

Us
