2008 EVVY Award- Best Vocal Performance for original song "Muffin Man"
Last Updated: August 12, 2010
”Singer/songwriter Camille hails from Boulder but studies in Boston, and devotes her music to the art of silly. Her focus is fun but her vocals carry the gravitas of dust-bowl beaten jazz singers from 1937. Her tracks Muffin Man and Chopsticks Duet are particularly ridiculous, while Among the Trees and Lullaby reveal a quieter, soulful range to her work.” James Roland - Fenceposts ”Camille Harris [...] is clever with a lyric (”Do you know the muffin man? /Cause my life's a dreary lane”) and is a tuneful composer to boot.” Furay - Curtain Up

“Regarding Camille's musical Muffin Man: “It’s not often these days that audiences are treated to a classic romantic musical. Muffin Man delivers a charming one and does so in a modern way. [...] All in all, Muffin Man is a delightful show that will leave a smile on your face.””
