Listen to some Josey Miller original songs on her MySpace page. Watch Josey perform in this video clip. Recent/Upcoming Appearances Josey Miller was born and raised in the Chicago area. The granddaughter of an opera singer, she was classically trained in voice under Dr. Sarah Stedman of Northwestern University—but in college she abandoned the operatic route and substituted soul. Josey sang with rock bands and musical theatre troupes in college and then at a jazz piano bar post-graduation before relocating temporarily to San Diego. There she performed solo and with a band at well-known local clubs and coffee shops and started writing music inspired by Joni Mitchell, Patty Griffin and Jonatha Brooke. Currently living in NYC’s historic Greenwich Village, she’s playing various venues around town such as the Bitter End, the Living Room, the Red Lion, the Village Lantern and more. By combining emotive vocals and poetic lyrics, Josey has her own style of bluesy modern folk. She also studied the American composers of cabaret and jazz through Mannes Music College of The New School.
