The name of this band is very deceiving.  Dave Miller is the front man and the only man in the band. The name was actually created by fans of Dave's live shows. Dave played the guitar, drums, and sang in the same show.   Many people made comments that it was like seeing a full band even though it was only Dave on stage.     

Musically, Dave's sound has been compared to Pearl Jam, Dropkick Murphys, Dave Matthews, and Neil Young.  His versatile voice allows Dave to cover many different bands depending on the venue and audience.  Pearl Jam seems to be one of his most requested artists, next to his own material.  Last fall, The Dave Miller Band released its debut album titled “My Tattoos”.   What makes this album so original is the fact that Dave not only wrote all the songs, but sang and played every instrument on the album.  His incredible talent can be heard in songs such as Deep Inside My head, Our Vietnam, and Hollywood Jack, which is being considered for use on the FX hit TV show, “Sons of Anarchy”.

As time passes, Dave's music is becoming more popular in the area.  His name is being recognized as a steady music force on advertising boards around the Susquehanna Valley.   Presently, over 40,000 people have logged on to the bands websites.  In the 4 months following the release of “My Tattoos”, Dave’s hit song “Irish Walk” was downloaded over 14,000 times on myspace alone. 

Last May, Dave was proud to be asked as one of 30 musicians to play in the 100 Guitars Symphony from Paris, France.  “The Symphony of the Rose” was held at the Community Arts Center in Williamsport. Dave received special praises from world renowned conductor, Rhys Chatham of Paris for his performance.  Dave’s performance in the symphony landed him on the front page of newspapers, and on television. This year, he played at the Girardville, PA Saint Patty’s Day Parade, which is one of the largest Saint Patty’s Day parades on the east coast.  Dave also co-hosted a charity event for the SPCA with Channel 16 WNEP’s Norm Jones. 

In 2008, Dave had a record year of performances, having done 80 live concerts.  In 2009, Dave is in line to do even more with the addition of his newly opened music school for percussion and guitar in his new recording studio.  We look for 2009 to be another record breaking year.

Dave has been playing music since he was 6 years old.  A drummer for 22 years Dave has been playing in front of audiences long before he ever dreamed of playing the guitar.  Living in PA Dave went to college at Penn State for criminology but never lost sight of music. 

After college Dave moved to Alaska to work with Grizzly Bears in Katmai National Park.  During this time is when Dave picked up the guitar since his beloved drums were thousands of miles away.  Inside Katmai National Park Dave taught himself how to play the guitar as he did the drums many years ago.  For over 6 months Dave lived and worked among Grizzly Bears and played his guitar.  In camp there was only a cabin, bears, whiskey, and Dave's guitar to pass the time when he wasn't working.  Songs of pride such as "My Tattoos" were first written there. 

After coming home Dave was hired back at a local Trucking Company where he worked during college to pay for tuition.  The owner and friend Steve Patton gave Dave a promotion enough to have a financial backing to achieve Dave's biggest dream.   The Dave Miller Band.

"I played my first solo show ever in a small bar in Anchorage Alaska.  I was never more scared.  The show didn't go great, not bad just ok.  But it was the first time I heard people's applause for a song I've written and tell me they really liked it.  After being scared out of my mind for the first song, the music became easier, seemed to flow better.  And once I came off stage and shook the people's hands that stayed to hear me play I knew that after all the schooling, all the work, all the traveling that music was my life.  And this is what I want to do.  It just took a degree, Alaska, a Mack truck, and a bear to figure it out."
