Miranda Blanton and the Kickaround Kids

About Me

Hi, my name is Miranda. This project started out of boredom, 5 AM song writing sessions, and the need to make music. I don't know how long I'm going to keep this up. It's all just some new expression.

I have recorded a 6 song EP titled The Door EP. It is available for free download on my label's website(along with a few other recordings)

I'm the second artist on the page, but you should check out the other artists too. They're all my good friends.

I have a tumblr! Read it! Or don't!

Update 11-03-08

I have no idea what I'm doing with this. I think I've pretty much scraped the Songs For the Not Nervous project. I found certain stories hard to work with, and frankly writing and recording 24 songs w...
