Biography
Valorie Miller's mentor once told her "I've got bad news for you honey- you're a songwriter".  And there it is. When you hear Valorie's music, you will know that songwriting is her calling. Her body of work is as new and natural as an undiscovered species of flower in a rare forest.    As a citizen of the planet from an early age, Valorie's eyes were opened wide. In adulthood, she retreated to the woods of her native North Carolina, whose landscape is the playground of her imagination. Filtering her unique take on the world and her abounding intuition through a kaleidoscopic point of view, Valorie emerges with a family of songs like no other. Valorie delivers her songs in a voice that No Depression Magazine has described as "Pure Carolina, from whisper to wail". Her guitar style is accomplished and her own, but draws from old school country and blues. Her newest recording, "Autumn Eyes", is her fifth, and is quickly gaining recognition on the U.S as well as abroad, receiving a particularly warm welcome in Canada and the Netherlands. Valorie Miller inhabits the contemporary folk scene like a true native.
