“The instant she begins to sing, her voice just knocks people over the head. It’s that distinctive. Deep yet sensual, Miller’s voice is a little like Liz Phair or Nico.”

"Alabama-raised, Nashville-based singer/songwriter Hannah Miller has quietly built a reputation and growing following for her thoughtful, lovingly rendered folk/pop that also taps into her roots of gospel and soulful Americana. Miller's almost dispassionate vocal style, reminiscent at times of the languid cool of Cowboy Junkies' Margot Timmons, communicates as simply and effectively as a knowing glance."

Atlanta Music Guide-
"Miller’s voice can best be described by the three “S”s: sexy, sultry, and soulful. It contains the beauty of an Emmylou Harris, but also the hint of danger and remorse that are exemplified by Jolie Holland or Feist."

Bio
Miller’s literate style blends blues, folk and gospel which, when led by her disarmingly intimate alto, feel immediately familiar and compelling. Outfits like American Songwriter, Lilith Faire, MTV, the International Songwriting Competition and iTunes’ “Indie Spotlight” have all taken notice. Reviewers have fallen over
themselves looking for comparisons. Names like Neko Case, Feist, Rachel
Yamagata, Liz Phair, Brandi Carlile and Basia Bulat are regularly
referenced.
She has held her own when opening for Langhorne Slim, Landon Pigg, Elizabeth Cook, Patrick Davis and more and has cultivated a passionate following around the country. Her song “Keep It Simple” was licensed by NBC for the prime-time medical drama Mercy; Her song "Little Bit" was recently featured on the hit show "Pretty Little Liars" and her song "Sun Keep On Shining" was heard on FX's "Sons of Anarchy" last fall.
