Acoustic Rock artist Angie Miller is an accomplished singer/songwriter who you may have seen performing her original music at local clubs, coffeehouses, festivals, and colleges throughout the mid-Atlantic region. 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 with sparse arrangements and introspective lyrics. Her latest release, Play (2003) is a live recording featuring the full band that showcases her strengths as a songwriter with smart lyrics, beautiful melodies and strong pop hooks. She is currently working on a new studio recording, due out in the fall of 2005.

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. Whether it is the dreamy call of the siren in "Swim to Me," the swampy, sweaty novella of "What's Wrong with Your Mind," or the uplifting, practical exuberance of "Here We Are," Angie's songs and performances cut straight to the heart and comfortably slide up next to your own experiences and memories like a good conversation. Mike Joyce of The WashingtonPost says Miller has an "appealingly husky country rock voice" that makes a "strong impression" while Gretchen Gaines of Waazzup? Magazine describes her music as "both playful and thoughtful, [mixing] folk ballads and sultry standards, and alternative acoustic pop."

Angie has appeared in concert with international artists such as Richie Havens, Nils Lofgren, Aimee Mann, Jerry Jeff Walker, David Wilcox and Marcia Ball. 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.

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
