Guitarist and composer, Dave Miller (Algernon, Greg Ward’s Rogue Parade, Ted Sirota’s Rebel Souls, Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Scientist, Patricia Barber, Joe Policastro Trio, etc), has been a prominent fixture in the Chicago creative music scene for nearly two decades. During this time period, Miller has embarked on numerous tours stateside and abroad, and has released nine albums of original music under his own name or various pseudonyms. In reference to Miller’s latest albums (Dave Miller and Daughter of Experience, both released on Tompkins Square Records), grammy award-winning music journalist Neil Tesser cites Miller “among my favorite modern guitarists” while the widely celebrated guitar trailblazer and MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, Mary Halvorson, gushed “Dave Miller has a penchant for melodies that stick with you, in a good way. His latest album provides the joy and the lift we all need right now-- through his bad ass guitar playing, a myriad of unexpected shifts reveal a brilliant sonic universe.” Most recently, Miller has lead a quartet with legendary jazz drummer, Jeff “Tain” Watts, performed at Chicago’s Symphony Hall with Greg Ward’s Rogue Parade, and held down the guitar chair for Terence Blanchard’s masterful opera, Fire Shut Up In My Bones at the Lyric Opera of Chicago.
