Emmett Miller

Emmett Miller, born in 1900, was an American minstrel show performer and recording artist celebrated for his distinctive falsetto, yodel-like voice. A pioneer in his own right, Miller's unique style bridged the gap between old-time Southern music, minstrelsy, jazz, and Western swing, making him a seminal figure in the evolution of country music. His influence can be heard in the works of legendary artists such as Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, and Merle Haggard. Miller's music is not just a collection of songs but a journey through the rich tapestry of American musical heritage.
