Alta Mira is an American Rock band based in Albany, NY. Alta Mira formed in 2004 and in Decemeber of 2009 released their debut CD on Indian Ledge Records.

The four piece band consists of Joe D. Michon-Huneau (vocals), Tommy Krebs (drums) and brothers Hunter (guitar) and August Sagehorn (bass).

History
Alta Mira was birthed in Albany, NY on a sunny, summer afternoon in 2004 when a mutual friend introduced a scarved and sandaled Michon-Huneau to three quiet, brooding musicians-namely, one Krebs and two Sagehorns-who were, at the time, rehearsing several upbeat ditties which would thereafter become Alta Mira’s first handful of songs. Upon playing two of his solo songs on a beat-up acoustic, Michon-Huneau was inducted into the band’s lineup.

Thereafter known as Milo, they played small coffee shops and parking lots, mainly on acoustic instruments, until, like Dylan, they “went electric,” beginning to make their rounds at local clubs and bars. Milo changed their unsightly name to Alta Mira in 2006 and began developing their distinct style, opening for such national acts as The Join, Lisa Germano, The Felice Brothers, U-Melt, She Wants Revenge, and Steel Train.
