Musician Vlog / Mia Morris /Ep. 16 “The Ryman Auditorium”/ Nashville Artist, Musician, Songwriter

- The Ryman Auditorium is something you hear about on a daily basis if you listen to the radio in Nashville Tennessee. Virtually every band or musician you’ve ever heard of has played the famous venue and it will have wildly different styles of music from night to night. The bigger acts show their clout by seeing how many shows they can book in a row. Brandi Carlile was just there and I think she had a 6-night run.
As famous as the Ryman is, I had never been to a show there. I’d contemplated it a couple of times but had resigned to wait until the perfect show was there to be my first time stepping in a place nicknamed, “The Mother Church” mostly because of is importance in country music and the fact that it was built in a church :) The Grand Ole Opry will be forever associated with the Ryman as it operated there for decades before it became the full-on concert venue that it is now. As it turned out, what got me there was a phone call from Jamie O’Neal!
Jamie is a singer and songwriter who's first album called, Shiver had two singles that raced to number one. She still lives and makes music in the area and also has a musical daughter named Aliyah, who I’ve played with on several occasions. After Jamie reached out to have me join her on the show, another artist named Olivia Ooms called who was also on the bill and who I’ve played for a bunch too. The rest of this vlog consists on some of the various gigs I’ve been doing lately and I’ve tried to put the name of the artists in the video. Almost all the songs you hear are the artists original music and if you watch many of my other musicians vlogs, you will certainly recognize many of the artists and some of the musicians as well.
I’m 15 years old and I want to be a professional musician when I grow up. I try to play lots of instruments but the one that I feel most at home on is a drum set. I would say the only thing that impresses me more than a great musician is a great songwriter so I also spend a lot of my time trying to learn the magic of songwriting. I thought it would help me keep focused on music if I started a drum series where I learned a new song every couple of weeks. After 5 years, it’s now turned into a larger musical search but my goal hasn’t changed. Hopefully, I will keep doing music, keep loving it and keep getting better.

We’re witnessing the continual development of a a very talented young musician, and I should add, parenting done right.
:) my folks are so supportive.. i'm lucky
I absolutely love this little girl. Such a giant unknown talent.
So proud for you!!!Miss Mia.
Playing at the Opry.Shoes are
gonna be filled.Love all y'all
thanks Clint!
Man that's cool Mia !! You played on the Ryman Stage with Jamie O'Neal. You played where all the old legends played years ago. You've made it, when you play the Ryman !!
Ha! I gotta say, it felt a little bit that way for the night. Now, I just want to get back there :)
We took a tour of the Ryman a couple years ago, and also the Grand Ole Opry. What a feeling it was to stand on the same stages as so many legends. As a musician it was almost overwhelming. I can fully appreciate the joy of performing in those places.
My grandfather played on that stage in the 50’s and 60’s. He never became famous (except to us). I lived in Nashville for 52 years and I pray you have parental protection from the predators and types that chew up and spit out artist. Your talent is growing daily.
I know it can be a sketchy business. I've got some people looking out for me - thank you.
Your parents have to be so proud of you and what you have accomplished at such a young age. God has truly blessed you with awesome gifts. The best thing of all is you are sharing the gift you have your music will bring so much joy to so many. God bless you Mia and may he walk beside you always...
Thank you very much Samuel for such a kind comment.
On top of all the talent, you are a beautiful young woman. Dressed to the nines and going places!!!
the Stevie woodward bar jam loved it you should play with them again
I love her! She co-wrote my song, Damage is Done that's on here too.
Mia. You are such a cool collected young lady. I'm very impressed.
Thanks for the kind comment Kenneth :)
soak it all in stay focused and humble as good as possible
but bring your a-game everytime
be reliable be creative be connective and make your artist-relationships as solid as you can
avoid the negative side effects there are certainly to the music industry
id love to hear "never meant to" in that concert hall
oh man how good that "one more day" would sound on that big stage :P
or how everyone would tear up when you perform "still had me"
*imagine *do it
I love this comment. (Funny how you like the things you agree with the most..) but your advice seems absolutely on point and the things that I pride myself on. I always prepare the same, no matter the venue or artist.. I feel like that's the respect they and the music for that matter, deserve. (I also imagined my songs booming in that amazing venue as I sat there :D)
Mia you keep Crushing it. What a honor it must have been to play The Ryman. Keep rockin.
Thanks Eric. Definitely a highlight so far.
Guuuuaaaauuu!!!! SPECTACULAR 😍Sure👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎼🎼🎼 congratulations mia the 🌟👍♥️
:)
Mia ... you are such a progressive artist!
I wish you nothing but the Best!
So progressive in fact, Rock, Country, Blues, and your own style?
A stellar job as always. Always impressed with your talent and professionalism. I also love the way you dress for each occasion. You're beautiful and your hair always looks amazing. Thanks for sharing your videos. Give Frisco a pat on the head for me.
He's asleep but I will when he wanders closer.. shouldn't take long - thank you.
“WOW” Congrats ❤️MIA❤️Congrats you’re Smart Hard work is paying off. With opportunity’s to showcase your incredible talent to Nashville. Great launching pad. The world eagerly awaits ❤️MIA❤️ My Best Always for your success, I so happy for you !!!🚒
Thanks for all of your encouragement. I'm a looooong way from getting to stay in this business but it was an awesome look at how it could be :)
Mia Morris :) Sooooo is this the end of the story for ❤️MIA❤️??????????🚒💕
Great video Mia. Oh my... l love Jamie O'Neal. I saw her in concert a few years back. She's one nice lady. She signed autographs after her concert . Mia... we watch your videos here at the barbershop... we think you are gonna be a Nashville Super Drummer !!
:D Nice - thank you very much! Jamie is a total pro and I hope I get back to the Ryman soon.
I know you hear this over and over again, but it really is such an amazing opportunity to witness your budding career from a fly on the wall perspective.
I really appreciate you taking the time and taking an interest - thank you.
Wow Mia !! The Ryman!! Absolutely awesome!!
I always end up with a good smile on my face when I see your videos. ✌️ Thank you dear.
I like that - thank you.
Yes. Congratulations on your first gig at The Ryman, something tells me that it won't be your last. Taller & taller, go Mia.
nice - man, I hope you're right about that..
I bet your nerves was jumping everywhere. But you looked so beautiful at the Ryman Auditorium. And sounded really awesome. You looked really pretty at 2:35 with the way you had your hair styled and was looking down at the stage area. You hung in there and gave a great performance. Great job!!!!
You are awesome, Mia...Thanks for taking us on your musical journey.
:)
You said it All...."No Words".......Congrats Mia
Thank you Harold :)
Pretty awesome Neighbor! There was NO way I was going to miss seeing your first performance at the Ryman. I was so excited for you. I actually made it in this video at 1:49 and 2:29. I'm the fat dude in a red shirt sitting front row in the balcony. 😂 🎅
I was also at the Cambria and Whiskey Jam. I was off camera at the Cambria, but can't believe I can't see me at Whiskey Jam? I'm gonna have to look closer. Haha!
Anyway you did so awesome at all of these gigs and I feel pretty fortunate that I get to attend so many of these and watch you slay in person. Looking forward to many more here in 2020! Stay Golden Neighbor! 😁🤘💕😎
:) I'm just trying to keep it going somehow. It's fun!
You have come a long way in a few short years. You have met key people who know other key people and the doors open. You are already learning that. Music and country sound is continually changing. Music Row is changing big time. Many artists have studios in their homes. You are a talent on drums as your key instrument. But, continue to write lyrics, learn other instruments. Your time will happen. Your time in Nashville is soon to occur!! Love all your work.!!!!!
I really appreciate the encouragement and plan on following this advice. I've been writing and cowriting a bunch and agree that's so critical.
Not surprised, 15 and already have the Ryman under your belt, soon top of the Billboard charts
nice :) ..soon, may have to be pretty general..
Hi, Mia! You're Exceptional! I wish you a bright Future! 👏👏💙
"Dream Theater plays here tomorrow night".
Me: You essentially warmed up the stage for Dream Theater... *internal screaming intensifies*
You did so awesome!
heheh! :D thank you
"I have no words"
Everytime I check back in with your channel your off to another amazing place ..
Very cool mia !!
:) thanks Mike
Mia, I couldn’t be happier for you the Ryman theatre is legendary if I. Ever get to Nashville I want to see the Ryman and I’m sure someday you will be headlining there when I think of all you’ve don’t in a few short years I am truly amazed well done 👏👏🎶🎶🥰🥰
Hey Fred thank you and definitely include the Ryman in any trip to Nashville. It's hard to explain why but it feels very special when you're there.
Mia, you're truly a musical superhero!
hehe :)
Wow... Jamie O'Neal .. I remember her from back around the mid 2000's. What a great female Vocalist !! She had a killer Road Band back in the day. I saw her in concert a couple of times back then. She was very busy back in the day. She did lots of concerts and TV Shows. Great to know that you are working with her. She still sounds awesome !! I have an autographed 8x10 she signed, on my "Wall of Fame" in my Music Room. I always loved her Australian Accent! lol Pam Tillis, now Jamie O'Neal... Jeezzz Girl, Your doin' everything right up there. Great Video...Keep On Rockin' Mia !!
That is so cool to hear about and I'm not a bit surprised. I play for plenty of folks with really good voices but she has some sort of, "next level" tone.. or delivery.. not sure what it is exactly. Her intonation is perfect as well - thanks!!
Mia, it's exciting to watch you again on youtube. It's been awhile seeing you, but your style is lovably delicious!
I'm so proud of you Mia! Great job! Keep it up girl, you are 🔥 🔥🔥...🥁🥁👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼
:)
Hey Mia! Thanks for a most enjoyable VLOG!! You are not only great with many different instruments, you are also able to adapt to so many different styles (artists) in such a short time! So this vlog is a wonderful showcase illustrating that you are a great drummer and so much MORE!!🎵👏👏👏👏👏
:) Hey Adelard - thanks man.
Mia: " A very special thanks to all the talented musicians that trust me to help them make their art :) "
I think they trust (more likely hope) that some of your 'creative magic' rubs off on them.
:) I like doing it, however it happens..
Spectacular Mia !!!! 👏👍🤘✌
Crushing it as usual! Each is a building block towards the goals you've set. Congratulations Mia!
trying to keep it going..
Congratulations on your continued success Mia. You are amazing.
:) thanks Russ.
Wow, you’re living the life many of us wish we could have lived when we were your age! I can’t wait to see what the future brings for you! 🤘😁🤘
I'm just trying to keep it going, thanks Will.
Wow! What a beautiful place for a show. I'm a Jamie O'Neal fan so it's great seeing you perform with these seasoned artists. I'm happy for you.
Thanks you, her voice is SO strong and really, just perfect. Very cool to see & hear up close.
Hi, Mia! You're such a remarkably talented young lady! Very pretty, too! 😍
The Ryman Auditorium is such a beautiful theater to play in because of the great acoustics that really amplifies all the instruments so wonderfully! I was watching Jon Anderson on You Tube's gig from last May at the Ryman and I have to tell you that your progress has really been totally excellent to highly exceptional above the other musicians on stage including Olivia Ooms! I really love your drumming with whomever and wherever you play; you seem to match up perfectly with the other performers like a pro! That Nashville Ryman theater is so beautiful and you're the best Mia Morris!
Thanks Carl, it really does sound amazing in there :)
So happy for you Mia. God bless you and keep the awesome work
Thank you very much Antonio.
You are all over this. How did that view from the balcony feel, knowing you're going to be on that stage, what a rush. Just take it all in and judging by your face you are. I'm very proud to be a fan of yours. I'm downloading songs, sharing videos. You must be sad though that we lost a great drummer.
yes to all of that. It was a night of just trying to soak it in and then just do my regular thing when it came to show time. I've been watching some more Rush stuff - respect.
For some strange reason, this didn't pop up 6 days ago. Luckily I happened upon it. Enjoy and savor every moment of your musical career, and never forget the fans that love you from afar. Good luck and God bless you and your family.
So far, I think I've done a decent job of really taking in all the crazy and great things that have come my way these last two years. Thank you for the support!
Is it all coming true for you?
The one part I was wrong about you is....how short of a time period you have accomplished all you have done ! My predictions about you are coming so true.
The best to you Mia Morris and your great future. You will be in for a BIG surprise in your future. This is one of them, you will own a recording studio. We all that have followed you, see the unbelievable talent you possess. Love YOUR music.
Hey Dave, loooooongggg way to go for that but thank you!
I don’t know how you find time to do all your musical endeavors and high school. I’m just glad you do! Great look at what goes into and behind the scenes at these shows. Awesome vlog! Thanks Mia!
Thank you sir!! It feels like a lot on occasion but most of the time it's just how I want to spend my time.
That's how it's done! So glad I found this channel!
nice!
Right on! Beautiful auditorium. I bet it sounds as good as it looks
it really does have a special sound.. chills
The behind the scenes videos are great. I worked as a sound engineer many years ago. Your videos bring back good memories.
Keep up the grind. I know it is hard work but, it will pay off in the long run.
Keep enjoying what you are doing and it will never be work.
So far, that's definitely the case.. I love getting to call this my, "work".
These groups need to have her playing the drums and/or the bass to let her showcase more of her talents.
Puff the Magic Dragon (that's in my head now)... And very nice videos of your performances Mia... Just Keep On Keeping On Always... Cheers! from our family to yours!...
ha! That one just seems like the perfect uke song - Cheers :)

FIRST OF ALL!!!! Love your hair style =) second your accoustic bass guitar is sooooo cool, amazing vlog. So glad you are having these incredibles shows and experiences, you are my idol Mia!!!! hugs, stay positive and creative!!! lots of love from Argentina
Thanks man!! I play that little bass a lot, sometimes when I'm writing since it sounds good acoustic as well..
This was great, Congratulations on getting to play at an iconic venue, I know it won't be your last trip on stage at the Ryman. Also, I about laughed my drink out of my mouth when you played Puff the Magic Dragon! Well done!
:D that clip has gotten way more attention than I would have guessed!
That's awesome Mia 😊👍😊
Good for you 🤩
That place looks amazing 😍
It looks like that place had good acoustics?
Always looking forward to your next video 😉😉😉
:D The sound in soundcheck took my breath for a second..
You're on fire! So many great moments in this vlog...would've loved to hear all of 'O Holy Night' my favorite Christmas song and a little more 'Puff the Magic Dragon' bonus material 😉🤙 ...until the next one 😁
Thanks Samuel! I got to do Silent Night with Jamie as well - a very cool evening.
Great vlog Mia! So informative. But as always Mia it's you that shines through. You looked like an old pro up there on stage playing and singing, this must help you to get the jitters out of your system! Someday that will be you headlining. Also you looked lovely and Dad? did a great job running the camera. God Bless you Mia your making us proud, we love you!!!
Thank you very much Jeff. I sometimes get nervous but it's never when I'm on stage or actually playing. Maybe in a dressing room or when someone says something about a show that's coming up, I'll get a feeling in my gut.. when I play, I just feel good :)
Of all the instruments you play, you seem more at home on the drums. Also that Caroline Marquard's tune sounded nice. Thanks again for sharing your talented venture with us.
Caroline has a few songs that I really like as well. Thanks for taking the time.
Long curls look good on you. I hadn't realized your hair grew this long. Great Video...keep at it.
you such a good & very nice musician...very inspiring "Mia Morris"
:) thank you very much
@@miamorrismusic you're always welcome ms Mia...
This video was amazing. I never knew Nashville had so much to offer . You really have a gift for music so dont ever give up on that :)
I certainly hope I never have to - thanks for the encouragement.
Awesome Mia Lynn! Now my usual 2 cents worth (1) Don't ever let this turn into your job. (2) Always keep your phone bill current.
hehe - alright. Words to live by.
WOW another milestone....YEEEEEEEEE
:D this one felt like it..
Amazing stuff Mia!! This is a major achievement for you...and totally earned and deserved, through your hard work and dedication.
These amazing musicians surely recognize your talents! Your mom and dad must be so proud of you! Keep it up...your talent grows by leaps and bounds🙂
Hey John :) It was a special gig. Hoping for some repeats...
This was great Mia, keep rocking
That was very cool... nice job as usual. Climbing that ladder, pretty cool considering where you started -- it hasn't been that long... Cheers!
This one was special and it may be a good while before I get back, but I'm content doing what I'm doing for sure :)
I hope the next time i'm in Nashville I can catch one of your shows. That would be a treat!
I play most Mondays at the Listening Room. All the other dates just happen when my phone rings...
You go young lady 😄😊😁😀😃😍😍
Good to see your still living the dream :-)
:)
Glad to see you again, Mia!
Thank you for letting us bear witness to your rising stardome!
Tim from Oklahoma
:) thanks for caring!
Congratulations! That's an exciting opportunity. Keep it up!
i'm sure gonna try - thanks!
Mía Morris Drums
Genia ❤
Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Thank you Pato!
Mia Mortis éxito never never stop🌈👍😘👏👏💓👑
Count on it :)
Loved every second of this video... keep up the great work Mia :)
Thank you very much Sean.
Excelente job mía! It looks like you are gaining a reputation as a great musician ! Bigger names and bigger venues are coming. I'm just happy to have discovered you before you skyrocket to the top.
Thank you very much Shane!
Look at you livin' the DREAM girl! I'm very happy 4 you that you are advancing and doing so well. If you hang around that place often enough you are bound to run into Glenn Campbell's daughter Ashley who is a pretty big deal now and very talented too. She seems to play the Ryman frequently.
I haven't come up with enough excuses to hang around but I'm going to keep on working on it :)
Mia you remind me of my Grandaughter Khia shes not a music talent but she is very athletic and that is her talent you girls are physically simular. Khias claim to fame is she is a stellar athlete but physically small. I love watching you perform. I am a drummer who has a lot of nice guitars my Pride n Joy is a beautiful Gibson Byrdland I don't do it justice but I do LOVE it. I also have a great massive set of Pearl drums Session Customs that I adore.
Magnífico Mía Morris, muy bonito, camarines, platea, escenario ....y desde luego todo el grupo de chicos, muy talentosos y valiosos,...hermoso 🔥🔟💗🌷🎸🎶😷🇺🇸🇦🇷
Hey Juan - thank you man!
Bobby Bones & News Channel 5 are spamming my computer. Never heard of them. But I do miss Mia's long talks in her vlogs. Perhaps they take too much time. The continuity & entertainment they provide is (was) often priceless. It's her story so she can tell it the way she wants. Perhaps it's all on X and other social media. My take on her recent story is that she is in love with one of her least important songs: "I Don't Do Sorry". Yet at one brief part in it's latest iteration she takes her vocals to a beautiful place they've never gone before. She was deliberately going to that place in her musical aesthetic and in that moment it worked big time. So she has it, the voice, even if she very selectively uses it.. If she continues her lessons and has a vocal coach she'll be all over the air waves in 4-5 years because, I believe, the voice is the most authentic of all musical instruments. She seems able to do what she wants to do with it. Her lead guitar work is already better than most artists her age. With her enhanced vocals and increased mastery of the tools of music, she has a chance to do it her way and be rewarded in whatever way she wishes for her work. She can't escape the fact that she is a functioning adult who will feel the pull of the future of all adults, part of which is feeling alone and blue, and discovering where she wants to go personally and musically, to feel that self actualization taking place. I hope she expands her life to discover much more than that "she doesn't do sorry" except for one exquisite musical discovery part. Perhaps all musicians find their crossroads and kneel to meditate. Then they make a pact with themselves about their destination. It's difficult to imagine that one so talented and committed as Mia wants to remain outside the collective unconscious of we hominin's dreams that are expressed in songs, art, and other forms of aesthetically pleasing creativity. Mia can toss a frisbee so pleasingly that it makes your heart sing. I want to feel that in her musical arts performances. It's unlikely it will happen for me, but all you young people who can hear should listen enough to hear it when it comes. You shall be rewarded! Perhaps musicians in Nashville have mentioned it, but I've never heard it said: Mia is a very superior drummer on a world scale. At age 9 this was her life. I don't know why she needed it so desperately. She needed something that wasn't piano, an instrument that she continues to master. Drumming was a part of our evolution. She must have a deep rooted connection with her psyche that was similar to what I hear in some of her vocals. I want to surf forever on those sound waves. Mia, who had the innate abilities, wanted something similar. When she got a kit from a neighbour who didn't want it, and wasn't so good at age 9 that she consented to taking lessons she, unlike most of us, wanted more of everything to do with drumming. If you look in the eyes of the 9 year old wild child on video you can see them grow large and glowing because she knew her little piece in which she charmed us with its perfect conclusion. Her big glowing eyes and happy smile were beautiful. She was determined her drumming would go the same way.. What I believed with no proof was that her dedication to drumming and drum covers instilled in her a profound association between drumming, her heart beating in her chest, and all music. Wasn't it bound to happen? As the years too quickly passed and she wrote songs and made her own videos, the beat of drums influenced and was somehow a part of what she did. She became an all woman band drum kit. Possibly the best. She could have planned to busk her way around the world. The one woman band had limitations. Except in the recording studio, the one woman thing can grow old. It became apparent to her before she was 14 that she couldn't be everything for herself or for others. She discovered that as long as she was very good at many skills people would hire a 14 year old. Now she does it all on lead & bass guitars, cajon, drums, other percussion, session singer, song writer, and whatever else an artist requires. She's getting more and more turns as "artist." Unless she becomes as enamoured with her current style as she did with drumming, she will be forced to continue her song writing and singing growth. Unless she rejects the idea, much to our loss. I'll know she has mostly arrived when I hear he first rock ballad that goes directly to radio play. You'll want to surf along on those musical waves to wherever she goes; you lucky people.
So much talent, such a level head and at such a young age. You make a believer out of crusty middle aged blokes like me. If I could give you one piece of advice that can really only come from life experience, always be true to yourself and you will never look back. All the best.
Thank you and I apricate the advice. That does sound like the way to be content, regardless of the outcome or the things out of my control.
Loved seeing back stage! Great vlog :)
Thank you Tony :)
Amazing, ✌️
That's Awesome Mia some musicians wait a life time and still never get that chance to play at the Ryman
That wasn't lots on me. I soaked in every second..
You are such a talented musician, it's no wonder so many people are inviting you to play percussion for them. You must be the most sought after musician in Nashville. You keep living your dream, keep honing your craft. You'll go far. Keep people you trust around you though.
Thanks Robert. Long way to go but very happy with how things are going :)
@@miamorrismusic You're only 15, you still have time, but you're way ahead of people twice your age. Keep living your dream.
Beautiful 😍
Wow. It seems with every upload you're refining and redefining your craft. Big things are ahead, I'm sure. Keep dreaming, keep pushing in and pressing on.
I won't quit - thank you for the encouragement!
Look at how relaxed you are, not nervous at all.
Love the logo in the cahon, beautiful outfits. Way to go gurrrlllll. !!
you know... I keep waiting for one of the artists to object to the big fat logo I sit on when I play but so far, nothing has been said. I've got one artist that I think may be the one... we'll see :) I don't get nervous when I'm playing, only sometimes before.
Wow Mia! The Ryman! You are REALLY on your way now! And another #1 Hit Artist! First Pam Tillis and now Jamie O'Neil!! I've heard "There Is No Arizona" many times on the radio. I love that song! When artists of that caliber "Trust you," as you said, that is a BIG DEAL. You are, obviously, impressing many important people in the Music City and your name is getting out there. It won't be long before someone asks you to go on tour. Would you drop everything if an artist of that caliber wanted you to join their band and tour with them? It's something you need to seriously consider now, i.e. how you would do school, home-school(?), virtual school (don't know if y'all have that there, we have it here in Florida), family, etc. You need to have a plan ready because it's coming, maybe sooner than you think, and you don't want to get caught flat-footed. Watching the video, I was like you, "I have no words"! OMG!! So proud of you!! 💖💖🎆🎆🔥🔥🙌🙌🤘🤘
Thanks for such a thoughtful and kind comment. I've given it some thought for the reasons you mentioned and for another main one.. I've been told it's difficult to accomplish much else when you are traveling from gig to gig and I've really gotten into a groove writing and recording most of the time for the last 6 months. I think I'd probably give it a go just to get the experience but I don't think strictly being a touring musician in my teens is probably the most productive move for me career wise. I would love to do several short runs of maybe 6 weeks to really understand what it might be like though :D Thank you for the encouragement and confidence you seem to have in me.
@@miamorrismusic Seem to have? No, I have great confidence in you! Not only in your abilities, but also in your intelligence and practicality. I wouldn't think it would be good for you to be touring all the time whether in your teens or not. Most successful artists ( and their bands) do a big tour to promote a new album, then take a year or two off while recording a new album, then "rinse an repeat". And I get what you're saying about the routine, or "groove" as you say, that you've established, but if a big, hot artist like say, Carrie Underwood were to ask you to join her band for a world tour, would you really pass that up? Heck no you wouldn't! I was just saying that when your shot comes to be prepared for that. Did you think a year or two ago that you'd be playing with Pam Tillis or Jamie O'Neil? You've come a long way fast already. And you CAN keep up your studies "when you are traveling from gig to gig". Those bus rides are long and boring, they say. There are ways to do that. I would think virtual school would probably be best, because your still studying through your own school district. I have a friend whose daughter did that, then later she attended regular school, now she's studying for a year in Germany! Her mom's from there and she's living with her grandparents. I'm just saying to explore with your family what the options are and decide on a plan if and when they come calling. I have no doubt ya'll will do the right thing for you. I just believe it will happen sooner than you think, #SmartRockStar !!
Luv the ukelele! Keep up the good work!
One day Mia you will be the featured act here!
Richard Benson
I believe that can happen!
From the beginning in a short time, I knew she is special !
That's definitely a goal now. I'll take any excuse to get back there though.
Mia Morris
You will...You will.
Walking in the footsteps of legends, you're a lucky one MM!
Well deserved young lady.
That place really feels like it somehow..
Making the rounds and paying you dues.. your on your way to something big !!!
:) it's fun right now, no matter where it leads - but thanks!
congratulations Mia that's huge. Coming soon to the Ryman Auditorium......Mia Morris !!!!! sorry sold out !!!
ha - better keep an open mind on, "soon" :D

The Whiskey Jam....I don't know why I think so, but that place is a good place for you. I liked the other one you did there, a lot. I think I'll hafta go there and check it out....
it's a cramped sweaty room.. I think I agree :D
