Jill Miles

Who is She?

An authentic, 100-year-old stage coach stop nestled in the mountains between Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Valley, California called "Cold Spring Tavern" (https://www.tradebit.com) created the backdrop for Jill''s auspicious debut as a professional singer at the tender age of 12. Born and raised in Southern California, Jill - accompanied by her father on harmonica - performed for any and all a captive audience who would listen to their repertoire of Western folk songs. According to Jill, these early musical experiences are some of her fondest childhood memories.

Since then, her career has never ceased. For nearly eight years, Jill and her husband Steve fronted the popular Santa Barbara-based band Miles & Miles, releasing a CD entitled "A Distant World" in the mid-nineties. She then followed with a 2nd independent album release "Something Beautiful for You" inspired by her solo treks to Nashville. Her third album, "It''s Been Too Long," completed just before Christmas 2001, caught the attention of the legendary Buck Owens who called Jill and invited her for an impromptu appearance at his renowned Crystal Palace in Bakersfield, California. This and subsequent regular appearances elevated Jill''s profile to a world-wide audience via live web broadcasts from the Crystal Palace. (Logon to https://www.tradebit.com to hear Buck and his Buckaroos live every Fri. & Sat. at 7:30PM - PST).

Some of the West Coast''s finest pickers can be heard on this album including steel guitar player J.D. Maness, fiddler Gabe Witcher and multi-instrumentalist Jim Monahan (formerly of the Desert Rose Band).
