The Erica Miller Experience: CANCELLED

It's been a big month for Erica Miller. Her debut album "Reconsidered", a personal and soulful take on tunes first performed by Elvis Presley, has been released to warm acclaim from the nation's leading critics and widespread airplay. Now she is gearing up for her maiden national tour, journeying through New Zealand's main centres in October.

Accompanying her will be the six piece band that performed on "Reconsidered" , a collection of mostly Dunedin musicians brought together for this one of a kind project.

The Erica Miller Experience has several notable artists in its ranks. Miller will be joined by drummer Marcel Rodeka (ex Mother Goose), keyboardist Aidan Fraser (Conray) and saxophonist Paul Young (both from dub/roots band Koile), guitarist Tom Healy (The Jen Cloher band, The Verlaines), Miller's son Shayne Carter (Dimmer, Straitjacket Fits) on guitar as well as accompanying talented solo artist Hannah Curwood on backing vocals.

Joining the core group will be bassist Jack Hiku, a long respected figure on the Dunedin scene.

This will be a completely unique show. Expect more of the soulfulness, grittiness and class that marks the debut album of the Erica Miller Experience. No karaoke. No cheese. Just Erica, her smoking hot band and a canny selection of fantastic tunes "Reconsidered".

'RECONSIDERED' PRESS:

‘Reconsidered’ is a lounge lizard's dream.. an at times spooky and always heartfelt interpretation of some great tunes" (Gary Steel - METRO Magazine )

“Miller’s voice is not for the faint hearted, since it’s well and truly lived a life, but she’s also got sass and soul and raises a little bit of hell…” (4/5 stars Scott Kara, NZ Herald)

“..human and heartfelt and true..you should care because it’s good..” (Grant Smithies, Sunday Star Times)

"This album has a kind of dark intensity which takes it a long way from a karaoke bar or just another vanity project. You feel you are eavesdropping on a private session in an empty club when Miller has had a quiet drink after the show, and pulled the band back to really dig deep.." (Graham Reid - Elsewhere)

"'Reconsidered' is notable both for its musical muscle and deft touches. With her vibrato nicely suspended in a '60's - era reverberation, Erica times her delivery expertly, soulfully and with just enough grit to let the listener know she has traversed some interesting terrain in her lifetime " (Shane Gilchrist - Otago Daily Times)
