Mia Morris / music vlog #28 “this is spinal mia” - live rock shows in Nashville TN -

- I got a call about doing a series of shows at a club that I love in downtown Nashville called 3rd & Lindsley. The first show I ever saw at that venue was Scott Mulvahill, (awesome night) and I was quick to say yes even though there would only be a couple of weeks to put a band together and rehearse for the show. I would be opening up for a roots rock band that had some success back in the 90’s called Bonepony that now lives in Nashville. Actually, after meeting the band, I found out that the guitar player went to the same high school that I’m currently in - Go Bruins!
Luckily, I only had to call a few players I knew to put together my 3-piece. For these 4 shows, I had Sam Hunter on guitar and Ysa Fernandez on bass. If you pay really close attention to my vlogs, you can actually see both of them in episodes from years past where we’ve all been hired to play for other artists at various shows. Both Ysa and Sam are artists and multi instrumentalists as well and were kind enough to learn my songs and spend the month with me doing a set every Tuesday night. In addition to being an artists and producer, Sam spends a lot of his time working as a session player and has toured with some pretty famous artists thus far in his career.
After looking through some of the footage from the first couple of shows, I decided this vlog might be a good time to give a nod to one of the most iconic mocumentaries of all time, This is Spinal Tap. If you’re around a few musicians for much time at all, you will begin to memorize some of the many quotable lines from this timeless movie about the life cycle of a rock star. It’s funny, entertaining, sad and unfortunately, accurate at times. If you haven’t yet seen it, I recommend it.
I’m 16 years old and I want to be a music professional 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 writing and recording. 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.

You rocked that stage girl. It was easy to tell, that you got more comfortable each show. I'm glad I could make it to all four shows. Oh, and since I got a front row table, I don't mind you missing the sticks. :) Thanks for making sure one of them came my way, and for the signature and photo. Keep on Rockin' Mia!
Thank you for all the support - see you soon :)
Mia, you're amazing! Great live energy, switching from drums to guitar! Strong vocals, too...you handle your nerves perfectly...plus you can rock! Looking forward to more!
Four of the best nights ever! Sooo fun! And you were amazing, especially for your first time fronting your own band. You are a natural born performer. You could definitely be in musical theater, movies, TV, etc. I mentioned a SAG card a long time ago and still think you'll need one at some point.
Sam and Ysa were also so good. True professionals. I think Sam might get more work now that he can play megaphone. 😁 I follow both now on IG and YT. They are very talented musicians.
Glad you put in a snippet of Only When It Rains. Love that chorus. It comes in so strong. Hope you record and release it sometime. Cat Fight was also a blast! And that encore .. Fa La La La Funny! We asked for it and we got it. 😱😂😂
I knew I would get carried away on this Vlog. I just really loved being at those shows, and it's not lost on me how fortunate I was to be able to attend. My road trips just don't feel as long now. 😎
I'll close this verbose ramble with this fun fact: Scott Mulvahill was also my first 3rd and Lindsley show. It was just after they opened from shutdown last October. Maybe you can open for him sometime!! That would be cool. I've seen Scott play 8 times now. Thank you for the introduction.
Great Vlog Mia! Looking forward to more and more of everything you present to us. Have a wonderful weekend Neighbor! 😁🤘💕😎

Well that just looked like a fun place to be on a Tuesday night. You all looked and sounded awesome. Thank you for this amazing video it looked like it took some editing time as well
Thank you - lots of laughs getting the timing just right during the editing tho, so it was extra fun.
Hi Mia! Some things don't change and I am thankful for that! You still have the best VLOGS!! Way to Mia!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks Adelard :)
Great vlog and you rock.
I love catching up with you Mia. Thxs for the vid!!
very welcome :)
Keep living the dream, you inspire me.
Keep those spotfy streams coming for Mia, and for yourself. Such great sounds!!!
MIa, I got to say I really enjoy all your music, and your vlogs just as much. Seeing you onstage is kind of bitter sweet, knowing the likelyhood of me seeing you play live is not high, but the vlog, and others, such only makes me what to porve myself wrong.
Regardless, your videos, and streming your music sure is plenty to go on with.
These behind the scenes moments, be they scripted or not, are so entertaining. You are your dad would make a great comedy duo, though please don't give up your evening job. In fact the sooner music is your full time job the better for all.
Don't get me wrong, your education is still very importnat, and a must for sure. But you don't need to hear that from me.
Thanks so much for all you put into your music, this channel, and other social media, and the time you give to your fans too. Replies are never expected, and I am greatful for the times you can, and do comment. It will become harder and harder to do so as your fanbase keeps growning, and you get more and more gig opertunities. They will come, and I am sure the day will come where some other artists will me over the moon to be opening for you!
Thanks Mia, and to your team too.... Have a great weekend.
Thank you for such a kind and supportive comment. The one thing that was scripted in this one was we had decided to to something with our shows and spinal tap so, I made sure I filmed that trip in through the back door on the 4th week. I could picture the ST scene perfectly when I was doing it and it was a challenge to keep a straight face. The mask came in handy..
@@miamorrismusic Thank you Mia. Being supportive of what you are doing is not hard at all. Seeing your carreer grow is a privillage. Keep up the great work!
I think it's awesome that everybody smiles in your videos!
I'm a big fan of smiles.. I'm with ya!
Just frigin AWESOME MIA. Your mind must never shut down. You rock and the world is going to find out just how big very soon I think. Just look at these comments and you take the time to reply. When you explode we'll all be there. Love from Motown and don't worry about the sticks you'll get it.
:) not many catches that month but my mind was on a lot.. thank you Robert.
Very cool great job much success. Keep rocking. Shanner.
Nice!!!! Btw I used to watch This is Spinal Tap sooo much 😂 the level 11 is the s$%%$t! They never get to the stage 😂😂😂 hugs and have a happy Friday Mia❤ stay positive and keep rocking!!
Really enjoyed this video, Mia! Great to see you....Tap.... into your potential! Just don't forget all the little people...of Stonehenge!
they almost made it in..
Funny Spinal Tap reference. I once did an ad for my magazine at a trade show with Volume 11 on it. Was pleased so many Spinal Tap fans got it. Rock on Mia.
Hey, Mia! I have completed the viewing of your video now, it's 6:15 P.M. on March 11th, I'm thrilled with You and I admire You a lot! I noticed the fingers! ✌️✌️🤘🎶💙💚👏👏💐🌈🇮🇹
Hey Mia when I first saw you play the drums I was amazed with the drums you played awesome sound exactly like the old southern rock ‘n’ roll bands we came up with if you stick with that and give it that spark like you doPeople will pay good to hear them drums Don’t get too far away from them drums 🥁 Them drums are you girl
Got it - and thank you!
Lyrics on your hand!!!!!! That's classic!!!!! Only you can pull that off Mia. ;-),
The confidence level shows and your performance bits shown are very good. Want to see more of this series. Your look is great too; folks may not understand, lights wash out musicians faces, make-up is a necessity. Great vlog as usual.
Thank you very much. It was a good month and I got some laughs putting the ST clips in.
@@miamorrismusic Your Dad's awesome. (I'm sure your Mom is too). Love the enthusiasm you have!
Little by little, but it's HAPPENING!! As always..
Say Hi to the Folks...
OMG!! That was so cool Mia! It's amazing seeing you up on stage rocking out to my favorite songs. I wish I lived near you because I would have been at a few of your shows. Do you know how many people you had in the audience? I'm so happy for you girl. Your doing everything right. You are definitely on your way to fame! 😅😎😅
The turnout was light but actually got better each week. Everyone there was completely supportive and the audience was pretty much full of folks that knew most of the songs but by the 3rd week, something interesting happened. The folks that came out for the headliner started to really get into it as well and we even had some folks that had heard, Gone My Way on the radio that week :) I got just a tiny glimpse of what it could be like to turn a random audience into music fans and it was a complete RUSH!
Great! Tear it up!
I gotta get to Nashville and see you play live!! Loved this!
It's still a ways off but there will probably some pretty cool summer shows..
@@miamorrismusic Awesome! Please keep us updated. I'd love to see you perform and support you!
she is still getting better than me i have learned a lot from you and its helps a lot
I LOVE everything you do Mia.
You have it all covered.
Have a great weekend! This made mine much better.
Say that 3× Made Mine Much Better. Lol.😃
:)
The Mia Morris Trio...you sound great. It looks like you had a lot of fun. I suppose you will be going on tour next. Please come to California for your tour.
I hope that's gonna happen eventually. Even though I'm getting a lot more calls for work, the full-time touring guys have very little going on yet.
Cool kid!
Best of luck!
Keep going
You're improving let's leave it at that ....LOL Congratulations, I enjoyed the video
my brother & I watch Mr Fox so many times that we'd turn other languages on just for laughs.
Warrior❗️🌹🙏 - Keep it at 11 MIA❗️

You Go, Girl.
I saw "This Is Spinal Tap" shortly after it came out in 1984. Anyone who's been around musicians knows how fine of a line there is between fact and fiction. The way you weaved together your facts and their fiction was delightful. When you held up your band-aids, I heard a cymbal crash, and then someone screamed "I got blisters on my fingers." Based on your last Instagram post, I have a feeling we may be about to hear "Only When It Rains" pretty soon. I only wish I could hear you play a live set, and dance my tush off. Someday. Have a great weekend. Stay safe.
Dancing was not allowed at 3rd and Lindsley those nights. In fact I don't think dancing is allowed anywhere yet. 🤔
Thanks Gerry, I'm glad you liked it and yes, OWIR is next. Now I'm gonna crash, I'll get to some more comments tomorrow at some point, gnight :)
@@rayhaynes2021 Someday.
“So Dope” MIA , How did I miss this Vlog Epi 😜 Duh . Love You’re Sassy Charismatic Personality ❤️ xx 🚒 Jesse 🔥Thxs4sharing 🔥Lol ☠️🐴
❤👌
Traffic? That's not traffic. I drive in LA every day. Friday, my GPS said 47 minutes to go 13 miles. LOL Congrats on your show though. Soon you'll be headlining there. Great chatting with you tonight on SS. Get well soon, we want you back on that stage next Monday.
🎧👍
Hey Spinal Mia, I like how you cut the Spinal Tap clips in with the vlog. Go to eleven !
Your videos go to 11!😂❤🎵
Mia, es tan fuerte tu espíritu y amor a Nashville, es admirable...
Te mordió el perro ? 🐕
Besos desde Argentina !!! ❤🌹👄🇦🇷🇺🇸
Hasta ahora no hay mordeduras de perro :)
MIA, this was completely awesome, I would love to get to a show that you headline , you're such a talented artist of musical instrumentation, in the meantime i'll continue watching MONDAY SONG SUFFRAGETTES ON UA-cam LIVE , until then #LETTHEGIRLSPLAYALLDAY🤘😘🤘💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏⭐👏👏👏👏 ⭐⭐⭐ have you had a chance to show Callista the basics in playing the drums ????
It's been a couple of weeks since I've seen her so, no, not so far.
New song idea for Mia "My Wimpy Fingers"!
My wimpy fingers bleed and crack,
but when I play I just attack.
So, now I've got the band-aids on,
and finally I can sing my song.
And yet I play with painful hands,
the things I do to please my fans.
And still I play another gig,
wondering when I'll make it big.
My family helps me left and right,
Our family bond is super tight.
Now Mom's making a tasty treat,
and after all a girls gotta eat.
Okay, not my best but there you go. Lol. Hope you like it.
Around this point Mia seemed to use the gigs as a step ladder to a new level of professionalism. I guess that's what happens to dedicated and talented people.
Hi Mia, nice VLOG filled with Lots of laughs as usual. Wow your live sound is impressive. The group is really tight. "Cuz I Like It" appears to be an ideal song for live performances to get the party started. I wish I could drive down to see a show, but the 1400 mile drive from my home is a bit much... 😉How come I don't know "Only when it Rains"? What song is that from? BTW, direct your drumsticks more to the back when throwing them in the air. You have room to move back a bit to catch them, otherwise falling forward over your drums would be a disaster... 😋Take care. :-)
OWIR is coming very soon. 1400 is a haul, I completely understand. Things should be a lot more interesting around here in a year anyway - Thanks!
Mia,
I give you credit for drumming and singing at the same time in concert. That's not an easy thing to do considering how active your body is drumming. I understand what you meant by practicing your breathing. Back in 1999 I went to a Journey concert, at Wolf Trap in Virginia, and the drummer gave the lead singer, Steve Augeri, a quick break and sang Keep on Runnin' while drumming the song and at first my friend and I had no idea it was the drummer singing because his voice was perfect with no fluctuations during the song.
I think it's a lot like a singer running around the stage but I'm starting to figure out the spots where I need to conserve and keep my breathing the priority. Fun stuff, regardless.
@@miamorrismusic True, but a singer can stop moving and stand in one spot to catch their breath or stop singing during parts of the song. Drumming and singing at the same time takes up more energy and is more strenuous. So in my eyes you are doing the harder job because you can't stop drumming even when you stop singing. Take the credit you deserve.
Mia,
Your dad reminds me a bit of Russ Ballad.
Nice! Are you using Zildjian L80? Do they provide enough volume/excitement for ya live?
good catch. I use those only because I've got that headset mic and they have pretty large patters where the pick up sound. I've had to go with lower volume cymbals to get enough control over the mix out front. The cymbals have mics on them or you wouldn't hear much but the balance is actually about right with these in small clubs. I've got one set that puts out a little more volume that will probably be better on outdoor stages or big rooms but I don't see my regular, "studio" cymbals ever working while I'm singing. I like to hit my drums too hard for that :)
Mía Mortis i love you number uan forever👏👏👍✌😍😘🌈💙💓👑
I think it's about time for a Class B or C RV for you.
Miss Mia get them lyrics tatted and you'll never forget them. Lol At first i thought Mia got a tat cool, but mom's and pops would probably freak.
I know you will be touring very soon after Covid opening for a big artist.
:) that'd be rad..
Spinal Tap is required viewing for all musicians
Mia, I'd say you're ready for a spotlight. Yeah, that will come (along with dressing room complaints about the cold cuts being "too big for the bread slices").
cool ~ are you ready for stardom
4:35 a girls gotta eat
Imma hunt down that one disliker and have a word...
I'm guessing your inner Harley Quinn was coming out based on your painted nails.
If your independent I know someone you need to meet but he won’t ever sell out or work with people that have they want him bad too I can try and talk to him he does rock country rap has platinum number one hits and is independent artist look upchurch up I really see something with the two of you
By the way your parents must be so proud and rightfully so Just sayin
Get a basketball. In any position practice shooting it straight up so that it will come straight back down. You'll never lose a drum stick again. That's the rumour!
Mia Morris on a scale of talent 0-10?
:)
Quer namorar comigo Mia???
It is not my intention for you to take umbridge.
But you should wear less make up. You have plenty of natural beauty. As many have said in these regards. Less is more ❤️😎
You have to take makeup volume up to "11" when you're on stage or the lights will make you look like a ghost with no lips. 😎
@@rayhaynes2021 and when she sweats under the hot lights. that stuff is going to be everywhere.
@@slevinkelevra5901 well I was there for all four shows and it didn't go anywhere. Besides she doesn't wear that much everyday, just for some shows. If you watch her videos you'll see that.
@@rayhaynes2021 okie
I'm never offended by honest comments, no worries.
The interjection with the movie clips was fantastic. I really like those leather pants or maybe synthetic, is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho? You hit the notes at the end good breath control. Remind your keyboard player a mask will do zip to keep out anything 1/10th the size of the holes except deprive her of needed oxygen and recycle useless carbon dioxide.
She tried it 1 week but decided against it after.. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment :)
