Red Miller is a man of many musical talents -- keyboard player, singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer. Red uses these talents to make original music based in the Americana style. You can hear Red's been influenced by the blues, as well as by American rock bands such as the Grateful Dead, the J. Geils Band, and Little Feat.
"I had the good fortune of knowing Lowell George, the leader of Little Feat" recalls Red. "When I turned 21, I moved to California, and started a band named Tombstone. Lowell took an interest and agreed to produce us. Unfortunately, before we could start, Lowell died while on tour. After that tragedy, I moved back East, and recorded my Out of the Blue album... Since then I've stayed friends with the members of Little Feat. They've been very kind and generous in helping me over the years."
Most recently, Red performed and recorded with the Knights of Crisis. "I really like getting on stage and having a good time." says Red. "When people are having fun... that's what it's all about."
On Red's latest solo release Long Time, you can hear jazz and techno styles influencing Red's blues roots. With the Knights of Crisis, Red showed a harder edge. Working within the guitar-based classic rock format, Red wrote or co-wrote 8 of the 12 songs on the CD Knight Job and contributed to six songs on Disaster Days. Red features Knights of Crisis songs as well as songs from his solo catalog in his performances.
When he's not performing or recording, Red works at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. If Red is not making music or working with a computer, he is probably out playing golf or working with horses.
