Rusty Miller

Rusty Miller is a Nashville recording artist / singer / songwriter from Yreka, CA. He has recorded with many National recording artists, Patty Loveless, Rosanne Cash, Glen Campbell, Emmylou Harris, John Hiatt, Arlo Guthrie, and many, many, others. His music showcases a style rich with sweet & soulful vocals and rootsy, percussive guitar. His shows include so many different styles of music; from folk, blues & country to jazz, alternative & rock. After experiencing his first Grateful Dead concert in 1976, and their loose jams and tight grooves have inspired him ever since and still adds a healthy dose of their songs to his shows.

Lifting each other up instead of putting each other down, anti-violence and anti-prejudice songs in the vain of John Lennon are the most accurate a description of Rusty’s writing style. Write about the simple things with a great passion is advice Rusty adopted after a conversation with John Prine. His favorite writing  influences are Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter, and John Lennon.

Rusty likes to declare, “Elvis freed my body, Dylan opened my mind, Lennon set my spirit free and Garcia touched my heart.”
