My bio is on my website, www.elainemiles.com, but I'll tell you here that this is not at all what I thought I'd be doing professionally, yet it has always consumed me and it's everything I dreamed it could be. Jazz is my world, though there are other genres that trip my trigger, and I venture there sometimes...
Miles Away is my band, and we're usually a trio, sometimes a duo, not too often a quartet, and hardly ever a quintet, but only because of budgetary restraints:)
We're mood setting, perfect with wine, a little exotic, usually mellow, intermittently upbeat, definitely sexy, rhythmically sweet and peachy.

Hi Gorgeous! The show last week @ Steamers was great. You broke my Cell Phone Camera though. In that white dress you were so stunningly beautiful that all the pictures I took showed everybody else in focus, but you are this blinding silhouette of white light? I always knew there was something heavenly about you :) Hugs, Bill
