With the support of her fans, the singer decided to release this very personal song first on TikTok, where she saw viral success with the sneak peek and listeners begged to hear the full version. The track plays as her vows to her husband written as lyrical poetry and set to a beautiful tune. In the song, Miller promises to be faithful, love her husband with everything she has, and stay firm in the good times and the bad. “When I Say I Do Today” is an incredible wedding song that celebrates love in its purest form between two people.

“Every girl dreams of the day when she gets to wear all white // And walk with daddy down the aisle to meet the love of her life // And I’ll admit I once I got married on the playground when I was 9 // But I remember thinking one day I’ll be a real bride”

What makes this song even more special is the fact that Miller never planned on releasing it. Originally a song just for her husband has become a song that many brides and grooms can enjoy for years to come.

Carolyn Miller’s “When I Say I Do Today” is available now, March 31st

Carolyn Miller Puts Her Chips on the Table with Single “All In”

November 5, 2020/in Blog, New Music, News /by Julia Grubbs

Carolyn Miller’s new song, “All In” is available now on all streaming platforms. Written by Jamie Moore, Emily Landis, and Abby Anderson, take a look below to find out more about the fun new track.

“All In” tells the story of a relationship that fully encompasses commitment. With baggage from the past, Miller exudes a feeling of the weight lifted by the support of her partner. An electric guitar brings a slight pop and contemporary sound, but her voice breathes with traditional country sound with the likes of Shania Twain or Faith Hill. Miller has been continuing to stay active during the year, playing Music Mayhem’s virtual music festivals and coming out with new songs. Her most recent release “Ain’t About That” reached 130,000+ streams and was added into rotation on Music Choice Pop & Country Channel. “All In” is that comforting song you want when you’re fully submerged in a relationship and want to show your support.

“Every way, every day, every trip we take around the sun / All of the highs all of the lows I hope you know / No matter what…I’m all in, I’m all in”

As a metaphor for life, Miller encourages to put your whole self into something, and you never know the joy that could come. Either live big, or you’re not truly living.

June 12, 2020/in Blog /by Brianna Vacca

Carolyn Miller, an emerging New York city country artist, is set to make 2020 an impressive year. Following singles “Summer Time” and “What You Can’t Have”, Miller has released her latest summery love chant “Ain’t About That”. “Ain’t About That” is the first of three singles set to be released in 2020. Written by Lance Carpenter, the writer behind Kelsea Ballerini’s “Love Me Like You Mean It”, and Makayla Lynn, this uptempo anthem represents the emotions shared with a loved one that can never be taken away. It’s a joyous commemoration of being in love and one that makes you wanna be in love.

The single opens up with a vivacious introduction, almost commercial resembling, welcoming Miller’s airy vocals and infatuation brimmed lyrics such as, “It’s the way my heart goes racing every time, you tangle your fingers around mine.”

Miller has shared the stage with a cumulative number of established artists such as Ashley McBryde, Chase Rice, Walker Hayes, Sam Hunt, Dustin Lynch, and Chris Janson. She has been named CMT “Next Up Now” artist and one to keep your eye on from Ty Bentli. During quarantine, Miller has been taking advantage of live streaming presenting over 40 live stream concerts for a number of media outlets, radio stations and venues noting, “COVID can’t stop the music. It can’t stop our passion. It is our duty as artists to spread joy and love, especially in the darkest times. Music is needed now more than ever.”

Carolyn Miller, Luke Denison & Stephanie Ryann Play The Cutting Room

February 10, 2020/in Blog /by Julia Grubbs

The Cutting Room is an incredible venue for live music, only made better when hosting some incredible women of country. Stephanie Ryann opened, with “You Don’t Know Me”, a grassroots grungy country song, with a bit of a modern sound. Her song “Good as Gone” has that deep country sound as well, with an intense beat to jam to. She played “Jolene”, a classic cover, but she sounded amazing and a perfect pick for the crowd and venue. She finished with her single that’s debuting soon, “It’s Only Love”, that’s got incredible vocals, and was really catchy. Luke Denison followed Ryann, playing a breakup song, “More of Me” and an awesome guitar cover of “Ramblin’ Man”.

Carolyn Miller took the stage in an iconic sequin blazer and shorts, dolled up to look like the star she is. Without a manager or label, she does all the work herself, which you can get from her fired up spirit. She’s so grateful to her fan base, who definitely came out to support, saying that without them, none of this would be possible. “Memories” was a lovely sound, and one of her slower tunes, that contrasted with the more heart-wrenching power-song, “Unbreakable”. She’s played everything from dive bars to singing the National Anthem at Barclays and gives the same love to her fans either way. “What You Can’t Have” followed, by songwriter Lance Carpenter, which was named one of the top 15 Best Songs at CMA Fest 2019. She played “American Honey”, a beautiful cover of a classic by Lady Antebellum, then a song she wrote as her vows to her husband in the two weeks leading up to their wedding. “Summer Time” was such a fun performance, with her dancing around as if it really wasn’t winter in New York City. This Long Island girl may have her home base here, but she’s got fans across the country that support her and her music.

Smithfield Kick Off Their ‘We Make Our Own Tour’ in NYC

April 3, 2019/in Blog, Concert Reviews /by Nicole Sellati

Last night, country duo Smithfield bought their first ever headlining tour to Joe’s Pub at The Public in lower Manhattan with special guest, Carolyn Miller. Luckily for us New Yorkers we got to experience an intimate night of good food and great music to kick off their ‘We Make Our Own Tour’ right here in New York City.

Kicking off the night, New York native Carolyn Miller took the stage going straight into her 20-minute acoustic set performing her song “Something Right About A Wrong Turn.” Getting the crowd ready for what was to come, she showcased her incredible vocals and stage presence performing a set of her original songs, “Save It, and “Strangers In This Bar.” While also covering a song that is dear to the singer-songwriter’s heart telling the crowd, “One of the first country songs I could ever remember hearing was this one…I was about 6 or 7 years old when I got this cd and I heard this song and fell in love with it and the storytelling. This is one of my favorite songs of all time, this is “When You Say Nothing At All” by Alison Krauss.” Performing the song effortlessly, she gave the audience a beautiful rendition to remember.

That wasn’t all for the singer-songwriter, Miller gave everyone who attended an exclusive premiere of her brand new song coming out on April 26th called “What You Can’t Have.” Before ending the night with her last song, “Remember Love,” she thanked the crowd for coming out mentioning how excited she was to see Smithfield coming up next.

Next up was the headliner themselves, Smithfield, kicking off their set with their uptempo title track “We Make Our Own” from their recently released EP Smithfield: We Make Our Own. Right off the bat, they were full of energy, getting the crowd ready for a great show ahead. As the night was just getting started the duo, Jennifer Fielder and Trey Smith took the time to welcome and thank everyone for coming out saying, “Y’all this is our first time headlining in the city so we are so excited to be here with you guys tonight, thanks for coming out to Joe’s Pub!… We know New York City is like the biggest market for Sirius XM, so they gave us our first shot to hear our first song on the radio and it’s a little song about skinny dipping,” going into their song “Nothing but the Night” followed by their new song “Counterfeit.”

Before going any further, Fielder gave the audience a little background on the duo mentioning to everyone that they grew up on different musical backgrounds as kids with Fielder being a country girl while Smith is a rock n’ roll guy. The duo got creative telling the audience, “We did a little mashup of our greatest heroes in music and we want to showcase that tonight, the songs that we love, why we do what we do up here on this stage.” They performed an epic 5-minute mashup of 90’s hits from both genres featuring songs “That Don’t Impress Me Much” by Shania Twain, “Iris” by Goo Goo Dolls, and “This Kiss” by Faith Hill, showcasing their undeniable talent no matter what song it is.

Keeping up the energy they kept the night going performing songs of their own “Slippin,” and “Me No You,” along with covers “Cry Me A River” by Justin Timberlake and “Come Back To Me” by Keith Urban. Before slowing it down Fielder asked the audience, “Are y’all cool if we just play this next one broken down just me and Trey and an acoustic guitar? Cause that’s where this whole thing started. The first time we came to New York was on the Highway Tour and we just played me, him, and a guitar.” The next song up was a very personal and special song to Fielder “If It Ain’t You,” the duo showcased their harmonies and incredible vocals syncing together effortlessly.

Before ending the night, Smithfield couldn’t leave without singing the song that started it all. Smith began talking with the audience saying,” Y’all this song we always called our little song that could cause it’s gotten us so many things in our career so far and the outpour we saw from you guys on this song, just the reaction I don’t say this lightly it meant the world to us really that you listened to it that you commented on it, thank you for being here tonight it really means the world to us guys. This is our first headlining tour, thank you for coming to the ‘We Make Our Own Tour!’ It’s a great way to kick it off!” Going into their emotionally driven ballad “Hey Whiskey,” before bringing the beat back up with their last song of the night singing their current single on country radio “Our World.”

For those willing to travel you can catch Carolyn Miller on Chase Rice’s ‘Eyes On You tour’ at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, New Jersey on April 25th!

NYCS Swag Spotlight: Carolyn Miller

April 2, 2018/in Blog, Swag Spotlight /by Christina Bosch

Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Carolyn Miller is our next Swag Spotlight. Just like Tommy Cole and Lauren Davidson, Miller is pursuing a career in country music by growing her fanbase up north and taking frequent trips down to Nashville for meetings and songwriting sessions. She tells us in a recent phone interview that like most performers, she was performing before she even knew it. “When I was 2 in church if my parents blinked I would run up onto the altar, as I got older they just realized it was I just loved to perform and be in front of people,” she laughs.

Besides not having the typical ‘growing up on a farm’ experience, Miller also went a different route during her early years, acting for television and Broadway. Starting with local community theater when she was merely six years old, and being signed to a top children’s talent manager when she was eight, Miller has worked professionally since then, working on a national commercial with Rosie O’Donnell, voiceover work for Jenifer Lopez’s perfume, landed a role in Daredevil with Ben Affleck and guest starred in Law and Order SVU. All of this before she exited her teen years, Miller was accepted to the Boston Conservatory at Berklee College on scholarship. After graduating college she was inspired by some friends who were posting cover videos on YouTube. She gathered some friends, Mikel James and David Wong and they recorded their own version of A Great Big World’s “Say Something”. Within 48 hours the video garnered over thirty thousand views, reaching now almost a hundred thousand views.

The exposure from the YouTube cover lit a fire under her to start exploring the recording artist side of her passion, something she had never really thought about before. Although she grew up on Long Island, which did not have a country radio station for almost 20 years, she recalls seeing Carrie Underwood win American Idol and being hooked. “the reason why I connect with it so much is country music is so real, honest, authentic, it tells a story, it’s vulnerable and it has something to say and there is always a purpose,” she explains. “Coming from my acting background I love authentic stories and I love really getting up and singing I don’t want beats and autotune, country is just that real beautiful pure genre of music.”

After a chance meeting with Russ DeSalvo who has produced Celine Dion and Lionel Richie, Miller started working with him on her debut EP which will be out this summer. The EP features five songs that songwriters in Nashville, LA, and NY wrote, songs that she felt spoke to her. She looks forward to honing her songwriting craft and performing songs in her live shows and for future albums that she has written herself.

Her background in performing and acting has given her the foundation in this industry to move at a much faster pace than someone just starting out. “I learned discipline, dedication and work ethic from the time I was 8 years old. I understand how it works, I’ve been exposed to it all from a young age,” she tells us. “Everything I’ve been through just proves to me that I know I am ready for this and I know this is what I am meant to be doing and the ups and downs of the industry are expected.”

Miller considers herself pop-country crossover, very New York City meets Nashville and is excited to release her debut EP, Unbreakable later this year. While in NY she has performed at shows all around town, including the Country Christmas Showdown, was a Nash Next Finalist and is booking opening slots with bigger acts for the remainder of this year. “You have to live and eat and breathe and sleep your craft and feel it in your blood and DNA that there is no other option,” she thoughtfully exclaims. “If that this is your happiness then you just know that this is what you are meant to do.”
