Miller then moved to Chicago where he played with Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Lightnin' Hopkins, Buddy Guy and Paul Butterfield.' Anthony DeCurtis When the family moved to Texas, Miller deepened his education in the blues, meeting T-Bone Walker and learning to sing and play listening to him and Jimmy Reed. His parents were jazz aficionados - Les Paul was his godfather - so as a budding guitarist and singer, Miller absorbed valuable lessons from their musical tradition. Running through Miller's catalogue is a combination of virtuosity and songcraft along with melodic vocals and signature guitar riffs. To this day, these songs are instantly recognizable when they come on the radio and impossible not to sing along with. Hit followed hit in an endless flow: 'The Joker,' 'Livin' in the USA,' 'Take the Money and Run,' 'Rock'n Me,' 'Fly Like an Eagle,' 'Jet Airliner,' 'Jungle Love,' and 'Abracadabra' among them. Then, in the '70s, Miller crafted a brand of rock 'n' roll music that was polished, exciting and irresistible, and that has dominated radio through today. With albums like Children of the Future, Sailor and Brave New World, Miller perfected a psychedelic blues sound that drew on the deepest sources of American roots music and simultaneously articulated a compelling vision of what music and society could be in the years to come. Steve Miller was a mainstay of the San Francisco music scene that upended American culture in the late '60s. This is the kind of quality and talent we both strive to present and I'm looking forward to a summer of great music, exceptional performances and fun. He always sets the musical bar high, his band always knocks me out, and I'm thrilled we are going to spend the summer together doing a great run of concerts. Over the years, we've played together in venues from theatres to football stadiums and everything in between. 'He was a wonderful guitarist and songwriter then and he is even more so today. 'Peter and I first met at Olympic studios in London in the late sixties when we were both just starting our recording careers,' said Miller.
