BIO

Jane Baxter Miller was born with naturally curly hair in Cleveland, Ohio. She was whisked away at a young age to Eastern Kentucky to be raised up in the hills of Pikeville along the Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy River. She began singing while attending West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV where she was introduced to bluegrass music. She left WVU with a B.F.A. in theatre and a burning desire to see the big lights of a big city. She soon found herself working with a theatre in Pittsburgh, PA and was indeed awed by the bus system and many traffic lights. With big city and big winter experience now under her belt she made her way further north to Chicago, IL to experience an even bigger city with bigger lights and meaner winters.

In the hinter lands of Chicago she met Kelly Kessler and together they formed the Texas Rubies. As one-half of this spunky country-duo she had the honor of opening for cool people like Guy Clark, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely and Carlene Carter.

When The Texas Rubies went their separate ways, Jane formed a a short-lived R&B group called Baxter with Ken Vandermark on reeds, Kent Kessler on bass, Tim Mulvenna on drums, and Tom Castonzo on guitar.

Jane can be heard on Bloodshot Records and is currently in the studio recording with Kent Kessler, Gerald Dowd, and Grant Tye.
