THE DUSTY MILLERS Friday 1st September @ 12.45pm
The Dusty Millers are the combination of three very different and interesting Melbourne musicians, all with their own names and musical history. Lisa Miller gives the songs she sings a colour and a pathos that is utterly distinctive. Since the release of her debut album in 1996, Lisa Miller has received consistent and unanimous praise from reviewers across the board, and earned a place as one of our very finest musical artists. Tracey Miller, also known as “The Gospel Queen of Melbourne”, has been teaching Gospel choirs and singing country, bluegrass, jazz, rhythm & blues with Melbourne’s finest players forever. Tracey Miller writes what used to be called “strong women’s songs” – songs that deal in the day-to-day relationships between ordinary women and their loved ones. Loretta Miller is the daughter of Tracey and the niece of Lisa. She has grown up with their music and performed with them from a young age, but also has a voice and style of her own. Most notably she toured the world 4 times over as a member of the dynamic 9 piece soul outfit “Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes”. Now focusing on her other outfit JAZZPARTY, she also found time to do a Patsy Cline tribute show performed at Mullumbimby Music Festival two years running and at the Caravan Music Club to rave reviews. Together they are THE DUSTY MILLERS and there is nothing better than listening to these three unique voices blended into perfect three part harmonies, giving classic songs a beautiful twist and breathing new life to some of Lisa and Tracey’s original songs
