InfluencesFirst secret admission...I discovered the Beatles late. Well, at least a little bit later than the people who pretty much claim they were chilling in the womb listening to the White Album on tiny Sony headphones. Jon Brion changed my life one Friday night, about 10 years ago at Club Largo in Los Angeles, when he played some wildly gorgeous, intricate, dark, 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 get up, clap my hands, and 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, Barney, who wears sunglasses and boleros at age 93. 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 some sort of prophet in black sunglasses, who makes me want to read the Bible. Etta James is my biggest singing influence, God bless her. Rodgers & Hart (Bewitched, My Funny Valentine), Ella Fitzgerald, Joni Mitchell, Rickie Lee Jones, Ron Sexsmith, The Stones, Donny Hathaway, Otis Redding, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughn, Bach, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Muddy Waters, Dinah Washington. I do love classical and jazz--I've been meaning to pour a midnight glass of red Shiraz and get deeper into Miles Davis. But, of course, Charles Bukowski's poetry, so raw and real and gross and delicate. What a beautiful monster man he was. Maya Angelou, who makes me want to crawl into golden-lit sunflower fields at dusk to write poetry as the sun fades into stardust. "The God of Small Things" tempts me to steal every line for a song. My tall and beautiful angels who protect me in their swirling white light. Dreaming and waking up in that groggy half-awake state, where the air is open and you can grab the little tiny particle things, the invisible beauty of creativity, passing by. Hopefully you'll touch inspiration. Even for just a moment.

"All He Has To Do" Live Acoustic Performance




______________________________________________________________

Sheri Miller was born in Long Island, New York, in an extremely musical and creative home. Her mother was an opera singer and classical pianist, while her uncle was a recording engineer, who worked with Chick Korea, James Brown, and Smokey Robinson. Sheri began taking classical piano lessons at age seven, but even then rebelled by composing her own original songs, rather than practicing her classical pieces. She also began teaching herself acoustic guitar, and singing along with Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Billie Holiday, The Beatles and The Beach Boys.


While Sheri was singing in local Philly blues bands, writing songs secretly in her bedroom, and getting a degree in English and Poetry at U Penn, an incredible coincidence happened to Sheri. She began dreaming of a Casio Keyboard over many months, to help her write songs in her bedroom, instead of walking 20 minutes to the jazz piano practice room. One dreamy Sunday morning, after an especially vivid keyboard dream, Sheri took an alternate scenic path to the library, instead of her usual straight path. She passed by a 1-day church sale. To her amazement, she saw and bought the exact same buzzing Casio keyboard she had dreamt of the night before, for $20. This “gentle push” and “tiny miracle” naturally opened Sheri to writing songs on her new keyboard everyday, awakening her artistry.


Sheri further polished her artistry and songwriting voice in NY, LA and Nashville by playing in famous venues like Rockwood Music Hall, Living Room, Canal Room, Joe’s Pub, Bowery Ballroom, Bluebird Café, B.B. King’s, World Café Live, and Hotel Cafe. Upon releasing her critically-acclaimed debut EP, “Mantra” in 2008, Sheri was asked to join a 4-part vocal harmony group, which signed to Sony Records in Nashville. Since leaving the group, Sheri has opened a sold-out show for Shawn Mullins, wrote with legendary writer J.D. Souther of The Eagles, Al Anderson, Marcus Hummon, Kim Richey, Lauren Christy of The Matrix, Walt Aldridge as well as other Grammy-Award winning songwriters. Sheri is now busy writing songs for her upcoming full-length album, to be released in 2010.

"Sheri Miller delivers what so many only reach for: truly inspired, deeply personal, authentically original songs, delivered without pretense in a profound vocal style that transcends her young age. It's a rare gift to work with an artist of her caliber at the beginning of her career. Unless my long experience making records has taught me nothing, Sheri is someone we'll be listening to, and talking about, for a long, long time."
