Singing came naturally to this California native, Cassie Miller. At the age of three she discovered her vocal talents which were then shaped and appreciated as a soloist in church and school choirs. Cassie then began singing professionally. Her career has taken her around the globe, from doing her own solo tour of jazz clubs overseas to singing with John Lithgow at Carnegie Hall.
She feels that her career has been a blessed one with many exciting moments, but when asked what she considers a career highlight, she replies, “Sharing the stage with the legendary Perry Como and Andy Williams as a back-up vocalist has been a dream come true”. Big Band Swing is her forte and she has been the “girl singer” for many bands, including The Harry James Orchestra, The Glenn Miller Orchestra. The Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, Red & the Red Hots, The Billy Vaughn Orchestra, The Larry Elgart Big Band, The Legends of Swing and The Bill Elliott Swing Orchestra.
Besides singing swing music, Cassie can also be seen on tour with the legendary rock band, Supertramp.
You can also see Cassie in various commercials and print ads for companies such as IBM, Chrysler, Detrol, Bose and others.
Cassie has developed a reputation for excellence. Her song styling has brought her wide acclaim from many entertainers including Gregory Peck, Jimmy Stewart, Placido Domingo, Jerry Lewis, and Liza Minnelli.

In the vocal department, Miller builds to a delightful climax in Kim Richmond's fast paced, sexy version of “Love For Sale. Not to be outshone, Mike Costley delivers a very hip version of the Beatles’ “With A Little Help From My Friends.” The two singers get together for a delightful take on the familiar Ella Fitzgerald-Louis Armstrong duet, “Baby It’s Cold Outside.”

Bill's [Elliott] singing group, The Lucky Stars are featured...along with the oh-so-talented, oh-so-gorgeous Cassie Miller. "One Girl and Two Boys" shows off Cassie's huge singing talent...I would rate her talent in the class of Rosemary Clooney." — Kevin T. Van Meter, Amazon.com
"Vocalist Cassie Miller had the fine warm, Helen Forrest touch for such hits as "I'm Beginning to See the Light," "I Don't Want to Walk Without You" and especially "It's Been a Long, Long Time" but she spelled her name with a "Z" when she belted "New York, New York" ala Minnelli." — Jay Joslyn, Milwaukee Sentinel
"He [Andy Williams] was ably backed too, by vocalist Cassie Miller, who phrased her solo with considerable elán in Williams' arrangement of "Oh Come, All Ye Faithful." — Ed Conroy, The Express-News
"Singer Cassie Miller belted a half-dozen tunes with ease and power that recalled [Harry] James' star Helen Forrest...The evenings best moments came from Miller..." — Mike Drew, The Milwaukee Journal
...The real class of the evening was vocalist Cassie Miller, a picture of the 1940's band singer in her upswept Betty Grable hair, haltertop print dress, and wedgies. In song after song ("I'm Beginning to See the Light", "Embraceable You", "I've Got a Right to Sing the Blues", "I've Heard That Song Before" and "I Had the Craziest Dream") she brought out the romantic emotions of those war years... ...Miller demonstrated that lovely melodies and meaningful lyrics presented with gracious style and simple movement are what singing is all about. She brought back the days of Harry James vocalists Helen Forrest and Kitty Kalen and the simple sentiments of "I Don't Want to Walk Without You"...I'd almost forgotten how relaxing pop music of that era is compared with the pounding, electronic beat of today.— Nelda Stuck (Redlands Daily Facts )
Vocalist Cassie Miller joined the band for the second set. Cassie is a wonderful vocalist who sings big band music beautifully because of her love and dedication to it. Her rendition of Boogie Blues would have landed her job with Gene Krupa (or any other big band during the Swing Era) any day of the week in the early 1940s. --Cassie Miller with Gary Tole and the Legends of Swing — Swingera Yahoo!
