Jeff Miller Live @ Inman Perk
by Guy on Feb.27, 2009, under Events
From Inman Perk Coffee » Events:
Before his freshman year of high school, Jeff Miller decided to sell all of his video games and buy his first guitar. Soon after, songwriting became a passion. After high school, Miller was off to Boston’s Berklee College of Music, where he studied Guitar Performance and Songwriting.
A degree from Berklee, a move back home to Pittsburgh, PA, a move to Nashville, and 3 solo albums (and an EP) later, Jeff Miller is still playing music. In fact, he plays over 150 shows a year, touring the east and the midwest. His music has received airplay at over 175 stations, in the U.S. and abroad. His latest effort, Seesaw, was co-produced by Matt Mangano (Darrell Scott, John Mayer, Dave Barnes), who also played bass on the album. It also features Nick Buda (Edwin McCain, Mindy Smith) on drums and percussion.
Miller still hasn’t found a regular band. But that’s fine with him and his listeners. At his live shows, he uses a device to record and loop guitar and vocal parts, creating more sound than many bands do.
Using his voice, guitar, hands and feet, he is able to act as each member of a regular band – a singer, guitarist, bassist, even a drummer.
You really should see/hear it for yourself.
“A total master of the loop/sampling pedal.”
-Adrian Bischoff, KZSU
“Great guitar tone and songwriting.”

The Gainesville Roots Project
Welcome to The Gainesville Roots Project: A neighborhood effort to revitalize and regrow the Gainesville Square through community-based music, art, and events.
The G.R.P. is a grassroots effort of local business owners, artists, musicians, and general do-gooders that are interested in creating a better Square. We believe our community is stronger than the current establishment — and by banding together, we can turn the Square into the central art district of Gainesville.
