Cassie Miller is singing tonight

Cassie Miller
Cassie Miller

Singing came naturally to this California native, Cassie Miller. At the age of three she discovered her vocal talents which were then shaped and appreciated as a soloist in church and school choirs. Cassie then began singing professionally. Her career has taken her around the globe, from doing her own solo tour of jazz clubs overseas to singing with John Lithgow at Carnegie Hall.

Cassie feels that her career has been a blessed one with many exciting moments, but when asked what she considers a career highlight, she replies, “Sharing the stage with the legendary Perry Como and Andy Williams as a back-up vocalist has been a dream come true”. Big Band Swing is her forte and she has been the “girl singer” for many bands, including The Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, Red & The Red Hots, The Billy Vaughn Orchestra, The Larry Elgart Big Band, and currently The Harry James Orchestra and The Bill Elliott Swing Orchestra.

Cassie has developed a reputation for excellence. She has been applauded and recognized by many entertainment and music luminaries, such as Gregory Peck, Jimmy Stewart, Placido Domingo, Alan Paul, Jerry Lewis, Merv Griffin, Ted Kennedy and Ronald & Nancy Reagan. Cassie’s glowing stage presence, combined with her love of the music she sings, transports the audience back to the swing era of the 1940’s, and brings this gift to every performance.
