Biography:
You may have seen
acoustic Rock artist Angie Miller performing her original
music at clubs, coffeehouses, festivals, and colleges throughout the
mid-Atlantic region where she has carved out her reputation as a great
performer and songwriter who knows "how to capture an audience," as washington post.com reviewer Maria Villafana says. Her debut CD,
Ricochet, was released by Big Mo Records in 1996, featuring a
cameo appearance by guitar legend Danny Gatton. Since then, she has
produced two more independent releases and appeared on several compilation
CDs. White Space (2001) is an all-acoustic recording that is
organic and moving with sparse arrangements and introspective lyrics.
Her latest release, Play (2003) is an exceptional live
recording featuring a top-notch band that showcases Angie's great
songwriting, smart lyrics, beautiful melodies and strong pop hooks. She
is currently working on a new studio recording, due out later this year.
Following in
the footsteps of Americana songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and James
Taylor, Angie mixes a smart pop style into modern folk rock tunes and
introspective ballads that hook the listener into the story being told
in each song. As Waazzup Magazine says, "Her music, which is
both playful and thoughtful, mixes folk ballads and sultry standards,
and alternative acoustic pop." Angie's music cuts straight to the heart and
comfortably slides up next to your own experiences and memories like a good
conversation.
Angie has appeared
in concert with international artists such as Richie Havens, Nils
Lofgren, Aimee Mann, Jerry Jeff Walker, David Wilcox and Marcia Ball.
She has worked with GRAMMY winning producers such as John Alagia (John
Mayer, Dave Matthews, Jason Mraz) and GRAMMY nominated engineer Bill
Plummer (Cee-Cee Wynans.) You can hear her music on WRNR 103.1 FM,
Annapolis, MD, WTMD 89.7 FM, Towson, MD, WKOC 93.7 FM,
Norfolk, VA and other regional commercial and college radio stations. Angie
is sponsored by Taylor Guitars. |

Press:
"There is something about
Miller's slightly husky voice that is inviting, even irresistible. She sings
like a seasoned siren, stirring up a spicy gumbo of songs." Mathew
Thomas Pugh, Bay Weekly
"Angie has that
creeping-toward adult contemporary, later-era Cowboy Junkies sound, tempered
with either a touch of Carly Simon or a snifter of Bonnie Raitt."
Splendid e-zine
"Miller, who has an
appealingly husky country rock voice,...make[s] a strong impression."
Mike Joyce, Washington Post
"Her music, which is
both playful and thoughtful, mixes folk ballads and sultry standards, and
alternative acoustic pop."
Gretchen Gaines, Waazzup?
"Angie Miller has the
unique ability to combine a ballsy blues backbone with a sweet and sexual
sensibility..." Mark Bounds, Music Monthly
"Nothing can replace
experience and talent when it comes to knowing how to capture an
audience," Maria Villafana, washingtonpost.com |
