Marie Miller
Friday Evening, 19 January, I went out with friends to hear Marie Miller perform at The Daily Grind Coffee House & Cafe, in Gainesville, VA (zip code 20156). Marie was accomanied by her father, and by the music teacher for Manassas High School on drums. They played two sets, starting with secular favorites, and then going to some of the songs that Marie wrote, and Christian songs. The acoustics in the coffee shop were remarkably good, they had high quality amps for their acoustic and electronic instruments.
Marie has a huge, perfect voice. It was like listening to a studio-produced album, her performance was so perfect. She's tall, and her makup was a little heavy, so we were asking, "how old is she? 24? 26?" She is only 17!! Just amazing.
Marie is good on the guitar, but she is astounding on the mandolin. They performed a variety of music. One was a song that Linda Ronstadt made popular, and Marie did sound a little like the young Ronstadt. They performed a couple of Celtic songs, and a couple of songs that had a distinct bluegrass influence.
