A Wee Book House + event produced and promoted by Crossmichael
residents. One of Scotlands foremost singers, Siobhan Miller is an
exceptional talent, renowned for her unique vocal style paired with
her evocative song-writing. Miller creates music with detail and rich
melodies that combine the sounds of indie and alternative music with
sounds from her roots in folk music. Growing up in a musical family,
she was immersed in traditional song and learned from many of
Scotlands finest source singers in her early years as a performer.
Miller won the 2018 BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for Best Traditional Track,
whilst also nominated for Folk Singer of the Year, and is the only
ever three-time winner of Scots Singer of the Year at the BBC Alba
Scots Trad Music Awards. Her three solo albums have received
widespread critical acclaim, whilst her hotly anticipated fourth
release is due in spring 2019. Mercury (2018) is Millers first album
of entirely original material, and was recorded in Glasgow with many
of her frequent collaborators, including producer Euan Burton. It also
features songs co-written with Laus Kris Drever and Admiral Fallow
frontman Louis Abbott. Flight of Time (2015) and Strata (2017), were
both nominated for Album of the Year at the Scots Trad Awards,
highlighting her extensive range through traditional, contemporary and
self-penned material, as well as her delicate, nourishing vocals and
lyrically rich compositions (The List). She releases her fourth album
in spring 2020 - following three critically acclaimed solo releases-
touring with Innes White (guitar/mandolin), Charlie Stuart (fiddle)
and Euan Burton (double bass).
