The Violet Mine

NYC based band The Violet Mine is Meredith Minogue (singer/songwriter/guitarist) and Jim Barry (songwriter/guitarist/multi instrumentalist). https://linktr.ee/thevioletmine Their sound draws from rock and roll, folk rock, 70’s singer-songwriters, new wave, country-blues and dream pop. As Violet, they recorded two full length albums, "We Both Know It’s Out There" and "The Last Cathedral", both of which were produced/engineered by Adam Lasus (Helium, Clem Snide, PJ Harvey, Yo La Tengo). Performing Songwriter Magazine called their debut “one of the best independent releases of the year”. Meredith Minogue is the co-creator of Fair Play, a concert series sponsored by City Winery that benefits the Bronx Immigration Partnership. Over the course of two shows Violet performed alongside artists including Chris Difford from Squeeze, Robben Ford, David Poe, Tracy Bonham, Richard Barone, Trixie Whitley, and Annie Minogue Band. Violet has appeared on CD compilations created by Magnet Magazine, Pop Culture Press and Jarmusic’s Coast to Coast, which included tracks by the Cowboy Junkies and Ani DiFranco. The band has played The Loft at City Winery, Rockwood Music Hall, Webster Hall, Knitting Factory and CMJ. The Violet Mine's forthcoming album, “White Night," produced/engineered by Reed Black (Karen O and Vampire Weekend) is a collection of ten songs that includes flashes of contemporary folk-rock mingling with guitar riffs, swirling synthesizers and intimate lyrics.
