Nocturne Number Two In F Sharp Minor - Chris Miller

Lyrics that will make you cry, a voice that will make you sing and guitar that will make you dance. Throw in a healthy dose of off the cuff wit and you've got a Chris Miller show. Over twenty years of guitar experience, including work toward a BS in Classical Guitar, make him a bit of an exception to the standard singer/songwriter model. He is equally comfortable as a vocalist and a lead guitar player.

Miller has honed his skills as a solo act through years slugging it out in the Iowa music scene, performing everywhere from casinos and sports bars to presidential political rallys, coffee houses and even the Iowa State Fair. He's been one of the busiest performers, averaging over one hundred and forty shows a year for several years now.

He has released five independent albums and racked up a huge cover song list that ranges from Stevie Ray Vaughan to Damien Rice and Ray LaMontagne. Miller jokingly quips, "I clearly have OCD but in this case it works to my benefit." His original songs are deeply, sometimes painfully honest. "I understand more but now want to feel less. Joy rules my head but my heart is a mess," from Falling Through Life, awarded Honorable Mention in Billboard World Song Contest 2009.

Chris is now seeking a new challenge and inspiration by taking his music and life on the road, a bold move for one of the few musicians in the area to make a full time living through performances and music sales. In June he sold or gave away almost all of his possessions and moved into an RV to facilitate this next adventure.

"I have no idea what to expect or where I'll go but as long as I can continue to write and perform for people, I'll be happy. It's just me and my guitar for now." Look for him in your town soon.
