| Next week, West Virginia-raised songwriter John R. Miller makes an eagerly anticipated return to the UK for a run of headline shows, as well as an appearance at Celtic Connections in Glasgow. Miller’s music exudes a sense of world-weary hope, which transcends his wholesome and astute mix of folk-rock and country-blues. Tickets available here. Miller says, “Me n Tom are looking forward to getting back to the UK and Ireland for a short string of dates this month. I love getting to travel over there to sing songs for people, and it always feels like it’s been too long!” January tour dates
Sun 18th – Bristol, Louisiana
Mon 19th – London, The Lexington
Tue 20th – Manchester, Deaf Institute
Thurs 22nd – Glasgow, Celtic Connections
Sat 24th – Belfast, Deer’s Head
Sun 25th – Dublin, Whelan’s Miller belongs to the rare breed of songwriters whose expansive introspection uncovers many truths about the state of the human condition. On his critically acclaimed latest album Heat Comes Down, Miller intimately narrates his sleepless nights and nostalgic daydreams, existential dread, and nuanced observations of the troubled world around him. But whilst a number of its songs convey a certain unease, Miller endlessly imparts the kind of lovely reassurance that can only come from shared catharsis. Following the release of Heat Comes Down, Miller stripped everything back with the release of the intimate and inviting Fireside Sessions Vol. 1 & 2, which you can watch here. |
