Jeannette Miller

Jeannette Miller brings a deep reservoir of musicality to every song she sings. A fearless improviser, Jeannette feels most alive in that playground of possibility and surprise. "I love not knowing what's going to happen, and riding the wave of whatever comes. Singing and soloing are like flying to me."

Jeannette's interpretations of classic songbook standards draw on years of experience as a pop/folk singer-songwriter, training in classical piano, and improvisation studies with Bobby McFerrin’s Circlesongs, Rhiannon, and master jazz vocalist Jay Clayton.

The NYC-based vocalist started as a pop/folk singer-songwriter, where she earned praise for her "swanky take-charge vocals" (Sound Views) and for "stretching the folk mode" (Dirty Linen Magazine).  Her original songs have garnered multiple awards in  national songwriting competitions.  The title track from her EP "Dreamtime" was featured in a CD compilation by Fast Folk Music Magazine, and is now archived in the Smithsonian Collection.  Jeannette stepped away from performance to focus on a career as a music educator. After many years, she now returns to the stage to put it all together: her love of singing, songs, and improvisation with a lifetime of musical experience.
