"Loud is not a word you'd use to describe PEI singer/songwriter Brooke Miller, but you only have to hear her gauzy assured voice once and she?ll have your attention for the foreseeable future. Her CD Lending an Hourglass is only a recent discovery of mine, although now that she's settled in Halifax, it?s a safe bet we'll be hearing a heck of a lot more of her in the coming months and get in on a good thing."

"Brooke's thought provoking lyrics are warmly fused to her enchanting vocal inflections. Her acoustic guitar style is fresh and intriguing. Gifted with a style that is forceful and energetic, yet tempered with soft passion and control, it?s easy to see that Brooke is definitely star-bound!"
- -Tim Feswick, Producer, Shelbourn NS. - Crash Test Dummies, Great Big Sea
"On the strength of her debut album, Lending An Hourglass, Brooke Miller is one Atlantic Canadian artist to watch for.....One of the best recordings to come out of 2003."
- Glenn Meisner, Atlantic Airwaves, CBC Radio one, Halifax NS. - - Glenn Meisner, Atlantic Airwaves, CBC Radio one, Halifax NS.
"At the tender age of 21, Brooke Miller has honed her craft. The PEI based musician reminds me of some of the very best of her ilk, variously channeling Bruce cockburn, Oh Susanna and more....her provoking lyrics and guitar picking belie her years. I'm sure she'll join the ranks of some of Canada's best singer/songwriters."

Bio
"Prince Edward Island native Brooke Miller leaves a room wrapped in a sonic ambrosia likened to that of freshly hung linens on a clear Maritime day. Her voice draws close all who hear her, while her guitar underscores the depth of her ideas. She is all this, and all at once."-Del Vezeau
Miller's alluring strong, gauzy vocals are the perfect accompaniment to her mature finger picking styles and tuning patterns. Her sound is unique and independent, yet reflective of her musical influences.
While only 23, her listening audience is awestruck by the soul Brooke inserts into her music. Her first CD, LENDING AN HOURGLASS, was released in 2003. Lyrically, Brooke's writing takes on storytelling with a sophisticated, well etched and upbeat feel.
Brooke has attained a peaceful evolution as a performer and songwriter. Matching her easy-going personality, she has a strong and modest desire to follow her destiny at a moderate pace. Learning guitar in her early teens, Brooke first started performing in a punk group, eventually developing a taste for writing material in some of the more 'acoustic' genres in her late teens and early twenties.
In 2003, Brooke moved to Halifax to continue developing her career and gain attention for her first CD, creating a healthy following as well as great support from CBC Radio across the country.
ALL OF THE LIGHTING, Brooke's follow up record is to be released early in 2006. Produced by her husband, guitarist Don Ross, they recorded and mixed the new CD in their home studio in southern Ontario.
