“Fresh off a long-awaited hometown residency at Spaceland, local songstress Mia Doi Todd delivers an encore performance tonight at Bootleg along with musicians Mauricio Takara and Rebekah Raff. The classically-trained singer's latest album Gea has earned critical love, and also occasioned a video collaboration with director Michel Gondry for the soaring album cut, "Open Your Heart" — a hyper-intelligent cinematic splash of living color that perfectly fleshes out the singer's surreal polyglot pop.”

MIA DOI TODD
“Like a 21st century Yeats she transforms our species’ dilemmas, follies, and misery into cathartic beauty. In this time of relentless ugliness, we need Mia Doi Todd.” --Michael Simmons, LA Weekly
“The future folk of Mia Doi Todd: Call it quiet fire. Authority. Charisma. Mia Doi Todd’s coolly tranquil voice caresses the air, but her trenchant gaze holds you, riveted. She descends to earth again, still piercing your eyes, and drops poetry of hunger and need, the food of love. You don’t recoil; you’re on the edge of your seat. You feel like a slave. And not so strangely, it feels good.” --John Payne, LA Weekly
