Miriam selfie in black coveralls and neon pink lightning-bolt earrings, with a lock of orange hair on one side. Miriam close up at a mic, smiling, in a brown flannel, in front of a blue screen. Miriam on stage with a bass under red lights, singing into a mic, with Dan on his knees playing guitar, and a drum set behind them. Miriam in yellow short-sleeve overalls and theater lighting reaches dramatically out across her body.
