You are Mia Dyson and you've worked your ass off the past decade to be heard on the Australian continent. That work has paid off. People know your name. Writers gush about your whisky-tinged voice and liken you to Lucinda Williams, Bob Dylan and the Boss. You've headlined shows, played the festivals, cut three records and received plenty of radio play. --
But there is this dream you've had since you were a child listening to your parents' vinyl collection and reading E Annie Proulx. Get to America. Tour across the States playing music, soak into the American culture and ultimately, make a lasting record. So you sharpen your teeth and sink into that dream.
-- --
Well, Mia Dyson, welcome to America. It's 2009 and nobody knows your name.
-- --
In the next three years you'll separate from your long-time partner, you'll go broke, lose your band and your management will try to change your name and sell you out to reality television.
-- --
And what is your response to it all?
-- --
You make the most gutsy and revealing album of your life. You reclaim the helm of your career, building a community of players and friends, touring the vast cities and big sky country you've heard achingly described in your favourite songs, reveling in America the way you dreamed of it.
-- --
"The Moment" frames that three-year journey into the mythic American landscape and the depths of uncertainty. It is an album about grabbing hold of what scares you most and letting go of trying to control your own fate.
