Kenny Kolhaas & Marie Miller
Kenny Kolhaas is a key member of the Focus Collective, he contributes his talents to plan and provide music for Mass and Adoration at Focus’ annual National Conference, SEEK, drawing over 20,000 college students nationwide each year.
His musical journey has taken him across the globe, supporting both national and independent artists at prestigious events such as the Cape Town Jazz Festival in South Africa, Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, the 50th Anniversary of MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial, a USO tour in Kuwait, and a memorable performance for Pope Francis at the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia.
Marie Miller, a folk/pop singer/songwriter and recording artist based in Nashville, TN, embarked on a courageous journey in 2018, stepping away from her record label of a decade to forge her path as an independent artist. Initially daunting, this newfound independence empowered Miller to explore her musical and lyrical freedoms, yet also presented daunting challenges navigating the music industry solo. Out of this period of uncertainty emerged the concept for her transformative album, LITTLE DREAMS, capturing the essence of overcoming fear and embracing self-belief.
Miller’s journey is punctuated by notable milestones, from performing for Pope Francis in 2015 to sharing stages with icons like the BackStreet Boys and touring alongside American Idol winner Kris Allen and Five For Fighting. Despite her remarkable success, Miller’s passion for performance remains undimmed, finding as much joy performing for small audiences as for large.
