Critical Acclaim for Kristen Miller's Music

"Kristen Miller's Later That Day is romantically, hauntingly, charmingly brilliant."

-- Bobby Borg, Billboard Author, Los Angeles, CA

"...obvious quicksilver intelligence of ensemble and arranging. Thanks to Ms. Miller for putting this together."

-- Catherine M. Gollery, Senior Music Director, AOL Entertainment

"Kristen is more than your average classical player.  Not only does she have the technique and intonation of a first chair cellist, she also has the intuition and the ear of a jazz musician.  She’s the kind of player you can let loose on a track.  With little direction, she played some of the most beautifully articulated lines on par with any professional recording.  In addition, she was able to turn right around and play noise.  She created sounds that sounded like she was channeling Jimi Hendrix himself and it was all done with utmost taste and sensitivity to the song.

I highly recommend her.  She can arrange her own parts, it was clear that she spent time on the tunes prior to coming in, and she was also completely willing to experiment on a moment’s notice."

-- Mike Null, producer

"By successfully merging the chops of Shostakovich with the spunk of Ani DiFranco, Kristen has produced a dark, beautiful, adventurous debut. Original, innovative, and captivating, its a promising and seductive start from a truly genuine talent.

-- Jamie Perkins, The Seacoast Spotlight, Portsmouth, NH

"To get a grip on Miller's music, try to imagine a musical conference call between, say, Bela Bartok and Brian Eno, or Mstislav Rostropovich and Jimmy Page... cranking it out with a rock-n-roll attitude."

-- J.C. Lockwood, Newburyport Current, Newburyport, MA

Singer/songwriter/cellist Kristen Miller's music will move you in more ways than one! On Miller's debut CD, Later That Day, elements of world music, phrase-sampled riffs & spoken word are woven together with fresh, soulful cello timbres, impeccably played and produced, but still raw enough that the essential earthiness that Miller's music is about shines through unfettered."

-- Corbin Keep, The WildCellist, Vancouver, B.C.

"Forget all your preconceived notions about the cello. Kristen Miller proves the cello has a funky side, too."

--Sonya Vartabedian, the Newburyport News, Newburyport, MA
