"If you're longing for some good folk music in the Woody Guthrie category, this is your new 'go to.' Dave Miller makes rustic timeless songs of the type that you can almost hear the creak of the front porch rocking chair in the background."

- Melissa Clarke — Americana Highways Magazine

"Dave Miller is a songwriter's songwriter. He's prolific. He's passionate about the craft. But most important...he's a great storyteller! Like Guy Clark, he has that unique ability to connect with the listener in just a few lines. You can hear and feel the emotion in his voice. He'll make you laugh. He'll make you cry. He'll make you listen. His music makes our world sound a little better...thanks Dave!"

- Bryan Hayes — Executive Director, Roots and American Music Society

"Take a scoop of Levon, throw in some Prine and a bit of Hiatt, and you might get into the neighborhood, but Dave Miller's musical take on the world all his own."

- Don Richmond — Owner and Producer, Howlin' Dog Records

"It's hard to put a label on Dave Miller. His blend of Country, Roots and humor deliver an authentic sound that is refreshing. Melody and words flow in unexpected ways. Miller takes the ordinary and weaves visual imagery into songs that are engaging, enlightening and many times just downright funny. A true story-teller!"

- Sonia Outlaw-Clark — Executive Director, West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center

"Clever, creative, incisive and always witty – a storyteller and a modern day bard. Dave Miller is one of Memphis's best songwriters and a 'must see' performer when you get a chance."

- Bruce Newman — Folk Alliance International Past Board Member & WEVL "Folksong Fiesta" Host

ABOUT DAVE

Real People. Real Stories.

Dave Miller is a veteran songwriter and performer whose music blends Ozark Mountain old‑time string band traditions with Western Swing, Bluegrass, Delta Blues, and Country Rock. With the wit, clarity, and craftsmanship of a true troubadour, his songs have drawn comparisons to Guy Clark, John Prine, and Woody Guthrie. A modern‑day bard, Miller paints vivid musical portraits of rural life, rambling roads, natural beauty, folklore, humor, and family—delivering performances that leave audiences moved and wanting more.

His musical journey began in Little Rock, Arkansas, where he picked up a five‑string banjo at age thirteen and quickly formed his first band. Through the 1970s and '80s, Miller toured extensively across the Southwest with his group Gumbo, sharing stages with artists such as Brenda Lee, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Michael Martin Murphey. During this period, he also began writing the original songs that would shape his signature style.

After stepping back from touring to raise a family and pursue a career in biomedical engineering, Miller returned to music with renewed focus. Since 2013, he has released a series of acclaimed solo albums—Just Flow, Southern Dreams, Beauty Path, Prayers in the Wind and most recently Party in the Pines—produced by longtime collaborator Don Richmond at Howlin' Dog Records.

Now based in Memphis, Dave continues to write, record, and perform throughout the Mid‑South, bringing decades of musical history and experience to every song and every stage.
