Bangles & Blues Everyone knows that in order to sing the Blues, you have to live them. In our time we have come to hear of and experience history's greatest Blues icons. "The Blues", sung by icons such as Muddy Waters, BB King, Bobby Blue Bland, Albert King, and Jimmy Johnson can conjure up tears and heartache from the hardest hearted stick in the mud. It takes the skill of a dark poet to pull at the strings of one's soul. Masterfully plucking away at your, "life done gone wrong once again blues". You've got to also have a voice that is coded in the resonance of blues vibrations, to effectively tell your story. All that and a kick butt story line, and you're clearly on your way. Chicago has been long known to produce a bevy of Blues artist who hold fast to the Blues Industry, constantly regenerating new talent from Buddy Guy, Otis Rush and Ms. KoKo Taylor to Little Milton you can pop into a blues club, and catch one of your favorite artist hosting, and serving up some blues, on a blue plate special. It is then, when you get to experience the new talent that has begun to sit in and wail their sad stories to the captive audiences. Claudette Miller is one of those figures raised in the sixties singings do-woops on the corner and praising God on Sunday's in the church choir, Claudette began to color her voice And her experience's that came from the times back in the day of those bittersweet stories that became "The Blues". She received her first opportunity to portray her talent on the stage with the late "Albert King".. She has continues to work with great names such as the late Tyrone Davis, Little Milton and Ronnie Baker Brooks her ability to keep the audience focused, speaks well to her tenure studying under the earlier mentioned blues greats It has always been Claudette's dream to sing "The Blues"; from the time she was a little child sitting upon her grandfathers knee she knew that this melody which has deep emotions and feelings that were everyday life situations needed to be shared although she has sung, and has included jazz pieces in her repertoire like the great Diana Washington, Nancy Wilson, she leaves no stones unturned allowing her gifted sounds to weave the story and her phrasing to praise the hook's that locks you into the finish. Claudette Miller continues to prepare herself for her growing success. With an upcoming release of her first CD," All In Time" it is inevitable that her infectious style and talent will reach a greater audience. Claudette Miller, someone who sings the "Blues in F," Frankly stated, with Familiar pain and with Fantastic delivery!Age
