About...

Red Miller has spent a lifetime mastering the art of blues, blending it with rock and soul to create a sound that moves audiences and leaves a lasting impression. As a seasoned bandleader and accomplished sideman, Red's music is all about making people feel good and connecting through the power of rhythm, melody, and raw emotion.

Red's musical journey began in his teens, singing and playing keyboards in bands around Boston. At 21, he moved to California, where he formed the blues band Tombstone. It was there 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 continuing to perform across New England. He also released two solo albums, further establishing himself as a gifted and versatile artist. Seeking new opportunities, Red moved to Illinois and joined 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. Over the next decade, Red performed at major festivals such as Fall for Greenville, Spartanburg Spring Fling, and the South Carolina Peach Festival, as well as regular gigs at the prestigious Biltmore Estate. His reputation as a performer and bandleader grew throughout the Carolinas, 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. Then, in late 2024, the Red Miller Blues Band merged with the Farm House Blues Band, bringing together two seasoned groups to create Red Miller and Farm House Blues. The result is an exciting, high-energy ensemble that blends blues, rock, and soul into a dynamic, crowd-pleasing sound.

With a career that spans decades and countless performances, Red Miller continues to share his passion for music with audiences, creating unforgettable live experiences wherever he goes.

Jim Polson on guitar
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.
 

John Elliot on drums
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.
