Raised in a musical household in New York, her mother an opera singer and pianist, her uncle a musician and recording engineer, Sheri Miller started composing songs as a young girl, on the piano and clarinet.
Fast foward a few years later, when on a Sunday afternoon in Philadelphia, something magical happened to Sheri, changing her life. "I had been writing songs in my room for months, which was a 20 minute walk from the music room, which had all the upright pianos. And I knew I was definitely not writing enough because it was such a big hassle to walk all those blocks downtown. So I started dreaming steadily at night, for over a month about keyboards, and buying a used keyboard. I remember one Saturday night in particular, I had an extremely vivid dream about this small Casio keyboard. The next morning I woke up with the image of the keyboard still clear in my mind, and took a different more scenic route that day, through an underpass of trees. So I’m walking, and there’s this one-day church sale, where they had the exact Casio keyboard I had dreamed of the night before. I quickly ran to the ATM, bought the keyboard for $20 and started seriously writing my songs on that sweet, broken-keyed Casio from that day on.”
Now back living large and in charge in New York City, Sheri has been performing steadily- appearing on the stages of The Bowery Ballroom, Joe's Pub, World Cafe Live, The Canal Room, Rockwood Music Hall, The Living Room, The Cutting Room, Bluebird Cafe and Maxwell's. Sheri has also been co-writing songs with Grammy-Award winning songwriters in Los Angeles, Nashville and New York and has recently had a song featured on the Songwriter's Hall of Fame Compilation CD, Vol. 4. She is currently recording her first "officially released" EP/album, due out in the Fall of 2007.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 10/20/2005
Band Website: sherimiller.com
Band Members: sheri miller- vocals, guitar and piano.
Influences: First secret admission...I discovered the Beatles late. Later than the people who pretty much claim they were chilling in the womb listening to the White Album with a pair of tiny Sony headphones. Jon Brion changed my life one Friday night, about 7 years ago at Largo, when he played some wildly gorgeous songs with Elliott Smith. I was too young and naive to even realize what I was witnessing. Fiona Apple is a true original and so self-possessed artistically. Love her. Anyone named Elvis. Stevie Wonder's music makes me want to sing in a gospel choir. He is the human form of joy. Johnny Cash is the closest thing we have to a modern-day American hero and reminds me in some ways of my cowboy grandfather who wears sunglasses and boleros at age 90. Lucinda Williams' songs are so amazingly simple and direct (Essence record and "Sweet Old World") they make me want to take up a drug habit. Just kidding, mom. Bob Dylan is a prophet in black sunglasses. Etta James is my biggest singing influence, God bless her. Rodgers & Hart, Ella Fitzgerald, Joni Mitchell, Rolling Stones, Ron Sexsmith, Donny Hathaway, Nina Simone, Muddy Waters, Shelby Lynne. I'm digging KT Tunstall lately. And of course Charles Bukowski's poetry, so raw and real and gross and delicate. What a beautiful monster he was. Maya Angelou, who makes me want to crawl into sunflower fields to write poetry as sun fades into stardust. "The God of Small Things" tempts me to steal every line for a song. My tall angels who protect me in their white golden light. Dreaming and waking up in that groggy half-awake state, where the air is open and you can grab the little tiny things passing by. Hopefully you'll touch inspiration. Even just for a moment.
Sounds Like: honest, soulful music.
Type of Label: None
