About the Red Miller Band

Red Miller knows the blues, and how to rock with soul. A long time band leader and sideman, Red Miller's music helps people have a good time.

Red started singing and playing keyboards in bands around Boston in his teens. At 21, Red moved to California and started the blues band Tombstone. Lowell George, the leader of Little Feat, heard Tombstone, and encouraged Red's songwriting and keyboard playing.

Red returned to Boston to work at the Berklee College of Music. While at Berklee, Red played around New England, and released two solo albums. After Berklee, Red moved to Illinois and joined Knights of Crisis. Knights of Crisis released two studio albums and one live album with Red. They performed across the mid-west, and opened for major acts including Little Feat, Blue Oyster Cult, the Guess Who, Rare Earth, and David Allan Coe. Red counts playing the Chicago House of Blues as a highlight.

After Knights of Crisis, Red moved to South Carolina and joined Rock and Roll Reunion. Red spent the next 10 years playing festivals and shows across the Carolinas, including Fall for Greenville, the South Carolina Peach Festival, and regular appearances at the Biltmore Estate.

In 2022, Red moved to Virginia to be closer to family. He formed the Red Miller Blues Band soon after arriving. Over the years Red has learned much about life, music, and performing. The Red Miller Band uses that experience to entertain with an exciting mix of blues, rock and soul.
