Release: Scottie Miller "Carnival Cocoon"

Release: Scottie Miller "Carnival Cocoon" Available on CD and Book Carnival Cocoon is a debut poetry collection by musician Scottie Miller. (Scottie Miller Band and keyboardist for four-time Grammy nominated singer Ruthie Foster.) His poems are arranged into five, distinct and vibrant chapters that revolve around the human condition This ambitious body of work reaches even greater heights, as Miller has set 23 of these poems to music and song on the album version of Carnival Cocoon. The compositions, often completely improvised, are set in blues, jazz, and folk styles.

“Scottie Miller’s latest ‘project’ is a performance art gumbo of original poetry and music breathed life by his creativity. The poetry has the mellifluous lilt of a songwriter/lyricist while imbuing significant substance born of the adroit observations of a witness/commentator on the path of his life. The book and soundtrack will fill a much needed spot in your collection."
John Hammer - Publisher Blue Monday Monthly

"A Twin Cities musical treasure, Scottie Miller—keyboardist, singer, songwriter and bandleader—now adds poet to his list of
talents. Drawing on his own life experiences as well as those of the down and out, his words and music elicit feelings of hope amidst adversity.”
