Miller Campbell is a study in contradiction.
She's young, but her performance has the force and conviction of far more legendary figures.
Her voice carries both coastal cowgirl grit, and torch song sigh.
Her band is capable of ripping between taut, new wave swagger and Bakersfield sway at the flick of a finger and click of a stompbox.
Her songs are intimate and confessional, yet packed with stadium filling choruses.
She sings of being “stuck in the middle of a heart that's breaking” in one moment, and being “built like your idol, forever 10 feet high” in another.
She is light and shade, whisky and water, static and silence all in one powerful package.
Yes, Miller Campbell may seem contradictory, but, as Whitman (and later Dylan) said…
“If I contradict myself, then I contradict myself. I am large. I contain multitudes.”
