SHAELA MILLER:

Shaela Miller’s years spent doing good country music work are safely etched into public consciousness.  A turn at this point is by no means an undoing, but a welcome lead into new territory.  Miller’s fast-rising path is set to be amplified by a sonic reintroduction to one of Alberta’s best voices and most sincere stage personalities.

On the heels of a 1st Place Project WILD finish, years of top-tier folk festival circuiting, TV placements like HBO’s True Blood, and many other accomplishments, Shaela is set for much more in 2023.

Early dreams stay in the blood. Pulsating drum beats meet ring-spun synthesizers balanced by steel guitar professions as the listener is introduced to a captivating story.  It’s one of a dual world – a binary of New Wave and Classic Country – the expression that reared a young songwriter years ago.  For Shaela, it’s a self-indulgent trip back to a world of music she’s been patiently waiting to explore.  The listener should take comfort in feeling a little tense, but this is no sleight of hand. It’s all from the deep well of emotion where Shaela lives as a songwriter.  Where dreams go unspent, the host can be left to wither.  Take a small comfort knowing that Shaela is guiding her own career path as every artist should –  with no fear of expectations.

MADDISUN:
