Continuing to produce projects which
celebrate the legacy of her father, legendary Motown songwriter Ron Miller,
while emerging as a lyricist, composer and artist in her own right,
multi-talented singer, songwriter and musical performer Lisa Dawn Miller kicks
off the holiday season with the release of her highly anticipated seasonal
debut EP, "It's Christmas," now available on iTunes and Amazon.
Miller makes
her songwriting debut with "It's Christmas" and "My Favorite
Time of Year," two original songs from the EP, co-written with her
longtime creative partner, Mark Matson. Miller's father wrote standards such as
"For Once in My Life," "Heaven Help Us All," "If I
Could," "Touch Me In The Morning," "I've Never Been To
Me," "Yester-me, Yester-you, Yesterday" and "A Place In The
Sun."
Lisa is also
releasing a new single, a remake of her father's classic, "Someday at
Christmas," a fresh interpretation of the classic written by her father,
which was originally recorded by Stevie Wonder in 1967 for his only recorded
Christmas album, with the title of the same name. The song was recently chosen
by Apple Computers for their 2015 Christmas message and commercial. The single
is also now available on iTunes and Amazon.
Lisa will be
performing her two new Christmas songs during the holiday tour of the long
running musical "Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack Show," retitled,
"Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack Christmas" for the season. The show's
December performances include stops at in South Bend, IN, Thousand Oaks, CA,
Santa Barbara, CA, Phoenix, AZ, Grand Prairie, TX, Birmingham, AL, Clearwater,
FL and Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Lisa
produces and co-stars in "Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack Christmas" (with
her husband and co-star, Sandy Hackett, son of legendary comedian Buddy
Hackett) and is also scheduled to perform "It's Christmas" during
promotional appearances on local network affiliates ABC in Dallas, FOX and NBC
in Phoenix and NBC in Birmingham, AL.
"Christmas
has always been my family's favorite time of year," she says. "No
matter what happened throughout the year, my parents always found a way to make
Christmas special for us. I'm so excited to make my songwriting debut at
Christmas. My dad's Christmas songs are beautiful. I'm very much influenced by
my father's writing style. I find a common sentiment in my songs, like his --
the hope for a better tomorrow and the belief in a brighter day for all."
Lisa is
currently working on several exciting new projects, including a new CD release,
featuring 12 original songs, a documentary and musical about her father's life
entitled, "For Once In My Life" and she will also be announcing a new
musical comedy in January.
