Very very "kenkoush tzain." It enters directly into the heart and lulls us.

Mariam you are such an awesome woman. It is truly a blessing to know you and experience the anointing you have with music. I love keeping up with your blog and schedule. You rock girlfriend, you rock!!
My love to you,
Natalia
I just returned home after experiencing your marvelous music in Greenville this evening. I missed your show at the Warehouse Theater earlier this year and was so excited when I saw you on the schedule for Artishphere. You have a wonderfully melodic voice and the Free Planet Radio musicians were phenomenal too! I couldn't help but notice birds swirling around far up in the sky when you were singing the song about the Partridge. Your joyfulness in honoring your heritage through your music and especially the memory of your grandmother was so touching. I honor you for sharing the Hope you have. This Hope sustains me too. God bless you!
Just found your website and think your music is excellent!
Reflections after the Mariam event on 28 Feb 2009 at the Warehouse Theater in Greenville, South Carolina:
That was a memorable event. I was deeply touched, thoroughly moved, and completely transported.
Only the occasional reluctant wailing of the siren seeping in from outside left a wavering link to the here and now; like a slumbering person, lost in a dream, hears nearby sounds echoing faintly as though from afar.
This was no concert. I've been to concerts, and this was no concert. There was no stage or audience. There was a vast stretch of space and a wide span of time, and there was Humanity that filled them both with its hope and its desperation, with its fear and its exuberance, with its tales of cruelty and its stories of love and faith... There were words that Mariam chanted and sang in Armenian which hovered with the spirits, danced with the angels, then penetrated the heart regardless of the faculty of language... In the process, we became the story, because we are the story, and the story is one and the same.

We heard Mariam and her small, but very fine band play at the Roots and Blues Festival last summer and loved the music- out of all the music that weekend hers impressed us the deepest.
All the best for your musical future

A truly enchanting taste of Armenia. Many thanks.
Hi Mariam,
I was in Armenia in 2005 and we went to Nagorno Karabakh for a couple of days. There was nothing to do one night, so we just sat out the front of the hotel with the bus driver, the tour guide and one other fellow traveller drinking the driver's home brewed apricot vodka and talking. I had "Far From Home" on my MP3 player and played the album as we talked. When we got to "Mayrigis", all the Armenians start singing along, thinking and reminiscing of their mothers in our sweet, vodka fuelled melancholy. It was one of those moments that you can have when you travel, when you're with strangers and then find a bond transcendant of language, culture and geography.
Thanks Mariam for the music for this moment!
Mariam,
I really enjoyed getting to know you this past summer in Tennessee and I am excited to see how your career is taking off. I have listened to your CD's over and over and I am anxiously awaiting your next CD.
Shad kitch lesetsee payts shad siretsee... Wish you all the luck and God bless.
Must say I read little about you now that the time is 2;30AM and couldn't close my computer till I drop some words to say I am happy and glad to know you in person though I wish we can meet more often while my stay here.
Your kind and sweet personality will let you have successful results in your career. You are doing something rare that anybody can hear you will be amazed and wish you all the success forever.
Thank you again for letting us to get to know you more and hear your warm songs more and more...
God bless you,
Sirvart
I know very little about Armenian culture, but as they say, music is the international language. I heard several of your recordings on PBS radio and loved the sound of your music. It moved me to hear your music in my car during a rain storm. The pensive feeling I had from the rain blended well with your relaxing sound.
