“When I was 16, shesaw me perform in ashow and said,‘You’re good at this.Go, get out ofLouisville and see
the world,’” Miller recalled. “She wanted me to branch out. SoI did.”

While she didn’t quite make it to her destination of LosAngeles, California’s loss was Colorado’s gain, as Miller madeDenver her home base for more than three decades.
Miller and her band will perform a free concert on campusat Colorado Mountain College’s Climax MolybdenumLeadership Center, 901 South Highway 24 in Leadville, at 7p.m. Saturday, April 25.
This concert is sponsored by Colorado Mountain CollegeArtShare.
Meeting people highlights Miller’s travels
“Traveling is the best kind of education, too,” Miller said.“You meet so many different people at their levels. And onething I always see is how we’re all more alike than we aredifferent.”
The band has toured North America, Europe, Asia, the MiddleEast and Central America and has appeared in countlessfestivals, concerts and fundraisers. Last winter, Miller touredthe U.S. with Big Head Todd and the Monsters, marking the19th year the two bands have performed together.
The summer of 2014 featured festival appearances in GrandJunction, Del Norte, Pagosa Springs, Frisco, Breckenridge,Erie, Boulder and Telluride, not to mention Mississippi, NewMexico and Wyoming. The band has appeared many times atthe historic Red Rocks Amphitheater as the headliner and asan opening act.
“I never get tired of traveling in Colorado,” Miller said.
Adding to music that people know
The music Miller and her band plan to perform will combinefive different “jazz experiences,” she said, including swing,bebop and smooth jazz, along with the blues and gospel.
“We like to make the music enjoyable,” she said. “We took asong written by Stevie Nicks (of Fleetwood Mac), called‘Dreams,’ and added a smooth jazz tempo with a layer ofcontinental jazz feel. But people still recognize the song,because it’s Fleetwood Mac.”

Miller said the band also put a “funky dance beat” to Lee AnnWomack’s country hit, “I Hope You Dance.”
“We think it’s all right to like every kind of music because itall blends together in the end,” she said. “It’s all music. Wehope they like it enough to get up and dance. If we don’t movethem, it’s very disappointing.”
Colorado audiences are usually quite active, though.
“I think it’s that Western pioneer spirit, and the fact thatColorado loves all kinds of music,” she said. “It’s almost likethey’re waiting for you and they never let you down. So whenthey jump up and dance, that’s our greatest accomplishment.”
