HAZEL MILLER
Hazel Miller is not just a great singer, "she is a force of nature" (The Rocky Mountain News). Her voice has been called stunning, moving, and powerful. Hazel has been a sought-after performer in Colorado for the past fourteen years. Whether she is singing blues, jazz, pop, or gospel, her voice charges the songs with a primal dose of genuine soul.
Hazel began her 28-year career in Louisville, Kentucky, where she rose to the top of the music scene. She opened for popular artists, such as Bob James, Mel Torme, Earl Klugh, Patrice Rushen, The Temptations, The Count Basie Orchestra, and many others before moving to Denver in 1984.
Since moving to Colorado, she has regularly performed with Big Head Todd and the Monsters. Becoming the newest member of this national recording and touring band, she was also a regular performer on the E-Town Radio Show. She has performed at all the major jazz and music festivals throughout Colorado while maintaining a working band that won the Westword Best Blues/R&B band award for three consecutive years.
She has sung with or opened for such artists as Julian Lennon, John Hammond Jr., Lucy Bleu Tremblay, Peter, Paul and Mary, Stanley Jordan, John Mayall, Charlie Musselwhite, Leo Kottke, Bob Weir, Herbie Hancock, Pop Staples, Five Blind Boys of Alabama, Nil Lara, Roger Clifton, Nancy Griffith, Junior Wells, Buddy Guy, James Cotton, Lonnie Brooks, Lou Rawls, Rickie Lee Jones, James Taylor, Spyro Gyro, Joe Sample, Little Ed and the Blues Imperials, Michael McDonald, and many more.
The new musical "Sistas and Storytellers" starred Hazel Miller in the role of "Sixxy"; a successful, famous singer who has come to a reunion with 5 women she grew up singing with in a travleing gosel choir. The musical was very well received and provided Ms. Miller with her first long running credit as an actress. Before this production Ms. Miller appeared in "The Vagina Monologues" in Boulder and Denver.
Hazel's new CD, Icons and Live are now available!
