Hey y'all ! I'm Hannah Violet Miller, a musician, singer-songwriter from Fredricksville, Pa. I grew up on a small secluded farm with two sisters, the perfect place to sing your little heart out. I play fiddle, guitar, piano, and sing. Since I was little I played and performed Irish music with my father, Mitch Miller. He is a fiddle playing, toe-tapping jamming machine. He bought me my first fiddle at age 6 and taught me a lot about musicology and how to handle myself in the professional music world. Dad has always had great advice, and in the most taxing or celebratory times, a shot of tequila! My mom Sharon (Solt) Miller took me to my first piano lesson at age 5 and has hardly missed a concert or important gig since then. She's pretty darn amazing. The piano lesson was actually meant for my oldest sister, but she wanted to stay at the playground so I went in her place, permanently. That was pretty much the beginning of everything. I started taking music more seriously in middle school and performed a great deal through high school with school choirs, band, county orchestra, and up to regional chorus and Junior Miss. I toured for three weeks through out Europe with the American Music Abroad Choir, and sang in some gorgeous and remote towns. Austria and Switzerland were my favorite. I didn't start writing music though until my last year of high school. My first song was called "what will I see" and is tracked on my first sold CD titled "On My Own" engineered by my father. You will hear a complete makeover of the song, including lyrics and will be titled "Smoke" on my soon to be released album "Violet Sky". I was definitely a closet songwriter for years until Nashville provided my first open mic/songwriter's night experience at the infamous Bluebird Café where I received a warm response and a good idea of other styles of song writing and acoustic performances.

I lived in Philadelphia for 5 years where I went to Temple University and earned a degree in Music Therapy. At Temple, I auditioned and was accepted into an amazing choir where we performed every year at the Kimmel Center in center Philadelphia. I also helped to create an all female A Capella group with eight close friends. The singing group grew every year, and even though we all graduated, from what I hear, the choir is still being carried on at Temple. Around my second year of college I got together with 3 guys from home and started the country band "Buck Wyld". Even though the band took off almost instantly, Buck Wyld split after 3 years. However, I was still performing as I did all through college doing weddings, studio work, and church gigs. I was hired for different denominations but ended up a lead soloist and musician for almost 2 years at a synagogue every Saturday morning in Plymouth Meeting. I'm telling you, music has taking me on an interesting road to now. Once I was out of college, I felt this sudden and overwhelming exciting realization that I had to move to Nashville. So I went down, found an apartment, drove home and two weeks later, made my move. I spent a lot of time playing around, writing music, going down town and going to concerts. I worked as a front desk agent/trainer at the amazingly huge Opryland Hotel. You should stay there if you have the chance. Nashville was everything that I needed and wanted. After a year, however, it was time to come back home as I was offered a position to create a Music Therapy program for Heartland Hospice in Reading. Within a month I was asked to play with the band Tandem. After two years and changes into Jeremiah James and the tandem band, I decided to follow where music was taking me once again. I will be focusing on my solo endeavors including more weddings, recordings, collaborations, and  sponsorships with Sorrelli Jewelry. www.sorrelli.com  I will continue performing my own Hannah Violet gigs, singing my originals and favorite cover songs with Dad on fiddle, and guest guitarists and instrumentalists.

Over the years I have digested and studied a lot of great music from a variety of genres including Irish, classical, alternative, folk and country which lead to bluegrass music and southern rock. Some of my favorite artists or groups are; Jewel, Ryan Bingham, Grateful Dead, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Tori Amos, Mindy Smith, George Strait, Sublime, Miranda Lambert, Shanacians, Eva Cassidy, Alison Krauss and Union Station and Joey and Rory, Old Crow Medicine Show and so many more. I have collaborated with different artists throughout Philadelphia, Nashville, and new Jersey and worked in studios of Bruce Siekman, a local engineer and songwriter, Paul Presto, an engineer and songwriter in New Jersey, Alex Koppenheffer (Temple Pa ), and Mike Myers (Philadelphia). I am currently back in the studio of Jim Heffernan (N.J.), dobro player/guitarist who toured with Brad Paisley and Joe Diffie, to record my next CD "Violet Sky". It's going great so far. I perform with a smaller German fiddle from the early 1900s that is acoustic/electric and also a beautiful gold German fiddle from the 1850s. I have my Martin 00015s series, all mahogany guitar. My one of a kind guitar strap is hand beaded from South Dakota. I love it so much, thank you Joe! I am very excited that I have recently finished my first music video for my song "Violet Sky", which took place in Las Vegas. I am also proud to be sponsored by "Sorrelli Jewelry" in Kutztown, Pa. My goal is to load up my website with music, pictures, our memories and merchandise.

Thank you everyone for checking in on what's new here. Thank you to the ones who put positive energy into my life and have supported me in my journey. Until I see you all in person, I hope you all know how grateful I am for your love and support.
