New live album out now!
Red Miller has spent a lifetime mastering the art of blues, blending it with rock and country music to create a sound that moves audiences. As a seasoned bandleader and accomplished sideman, Red's music is all about making people feel good and connecting through rhythm, melody, and raw emotion.
Red's musical journey began in Boston, singing and playing in local bands. At 21, he moved to California, where he formed the blues band Tombstone. It was here that Lowell George, the legendary frontman of Little Feat, heard Red's music and encouraged him to develop his songwriting and keyboard skills. This mentorship had a profound impact, pushing Red toward a deeper understanding of the music that would define his career.
After returning to Boston, Red worked at the Berklee College of Music while performing across New England and releasing two solo albums. He later moved to Illinois, joining Knights of Crisis, a band that would take him on the road, performing with iconic acts like Little Feat, Blue Oyster Cult, The Guess Who, Rare Earth, and David Allan Coe. A highlight of this period was playing at the renowned Chicago House of Blues.
Red's journey continued in South Carolina, where he joined Rock and Roll Reunion, performing at major festivals and venues like the Biltmore Estate. His reputation as a performer and bandleader grew, cementing his place in the regional music scene.
In 2022, Red moved to Virginia to be closer to family, where he quickly formed the Red Miller Blues Band. In late 2024, the Red Miller Blues Band merged with the Farm House Blues Band, creating a high-energy ensemble blending blues, rock, and country music.
With a career spanning decades and countless performances, Red Miller continues to share his passion for music, creating unforgettable live experiences wherever he goes.

Jim Polson has been playing blues and rock guitar since he was a child. Jim has called Virginia home for the past 25 years. An accomplished slide guitar player, Jim brings a love of the Allman Brothers Band and the Marshall Tucker Band to the show.
Remember the "British Invasion"? John Elliot does, but he was a child in England when it happened. John moved to the United States to pursue his love of horses, and his passion for playing the drums. John counts Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones as his main influence.
The newest member of the band, Rob Turner started his music journey on violin before switching to bass. He attended the University of Virginia and has played bass around Charlottesville for many years. Rob is particularly fond of music by the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers, and Chicago-style blues.
