A blend of precision and raw emotion Adam Miller
interweaves percussive rhythms, complex bass lines and intricate melodies
all played simultaneously on the one guitar! It is this talent that has seen
him perform with guitar innovator and inventor Les Paul in New York City,
the 'Certified Guitar Player' Tommy Emmanuel across Australia and the USA,
and trade licks with jazz guitarist Charlie Hunter. Miller won the 2002
Australian Fingerstyle Guitar Competition, and has performed at major
Australian festivals including A Day On The Green, Jazz In The Vines, and
the Adelaide International Guitar Festival.
Late 2008 sees the release of Adam Miller's
'Out Of My Hands', an album recorded primarily live in the studio. Miller's
polyphonic acoustic guitar parts weave between the electric bass (Peter
Gray) and drums (Nic Cecire) to create a sound that seems impossible for
just three people. The grooves and intensity of playing are completely
unexpected from an acoustic guitar. "I love that with an acoustic
guitar, what you put in is what you get out. And without the distractions of
amplification and effects I found I could concentrate more on the music I was
making."
Adam Miller's songs are bluesy, soulful, and
heartfelt, drawing influence from guitar greats Robben Ford, Larry Carlton,
Charlie Hunter, John Scofield, Eric Clapton, Tommy Emmanuel, Martin Taylor,
Bill Frissell, and superb contemporary songwriters like John Mayer, Dave
Matthews, Ben Folds, Fiona Apple, Damien Rice, and Eagle-Eye Cherry.
