Asheville N.C's Valorie Miller has plenty of accolades in the world of songwriting: top finalist in the 2007 Great American Song Contest, a recent invitation to play at New York City's renowned folk club, The Bitter End, and even fan mail from Lucinda Williams herself. But to Valorie, the hallmark of personal success is the intensity with which her fans become attached to her songs. One fan recently had his favorite of her songs played at his mother's memorial service. Another sustained a life threatening injury while hiking in the wilderness alone, and later wrote her to say that playing her songs over and over in his head gave him the strength to get himself out alive. To her fans, Miller's songs are more than entertainment, they are vitally important touchstones. This phenomenon inspires her to keep touring, writing and recording. Her current release, Autumn Eyes, masterfully delivers her newest material with the trademarks that everyone who loves her music has come to expect: beautiful guitar picking, a genuine and singular voice, and heart-wrenching lyrics. This woman is a songwriter's songwriter, and she inhabits the Americana music scene like a true native.
Praise for Valorie Miller's 2006 release Folk Star
Folk Star is her fourth album and its quality is such that some major label had better get crackin' and sign her -One Way Magazine Dec 2006
Folk Star is an album that cold travel very well from Miller's trailer to the concert halls of the world -Rambles.Net April 2007
the North Carolina based Blue Ridge mountain girl composes sweet tea southern songs with a street busking ragged-n-ruggedness. (her song) 'One Little Moon' delivers a would-be cabaret hit that sounds as good as most people look in candle light -Glide Magazine Sept 2007
