After a decade-long career in advertising, songwriting may seem like a departure for Hardy, but to those who know her best, she’s just watering her roots. Miranda is Jack Hardy’s youngest daughter, who spent years traveling and touring alongside him everywhere from NYC clubs to small pubs in Ireland. You can hear her singing harmony and playing fiddle throughout the late Hardy's final album, Rye Grass (2009).

Her debut album, Reverie (2022), which started as a personal creative project, is a curated collection of some of her own first work. The album is a family affair, featuring back-up vocals sung by her sister, Morgan, and a humorous rap by her brother, Malcolm. Toeing the border between folk and pop, the album’s metaphoric lyric style, dynamic harmonies, subtle humor and sparse production is reminiscent of some of Jack’s work–his craft no doubt absorbed by osmosis from countless cross-country car rides, songwriting sessions and family meals.

Miranda now runs a small group of new songwriters in New York, following Jack’s manifesto and mantra of writing a song every week to share for critiques. Her second album is in the works.

Reverie is now available on all digital download and streaming platforms (Apple Music, Spotify, etc). You can learn more and follow Miranda @mirandahardymusic on Instagram for more updates.
