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.
How've you been? Please check out the music video on my page, let me know what you think. Would love to get together soon before i have to leave town again, miss ya!
