"Derek Miller's new touring band rocks with the kind of aplomb usually reserved for seasoned veterans." (CREEM Magazine, USA)
Juno and Nammy award winning singer/songwriter and blues-rock guitar virtuoso extraordinaire DEREK MILLER has just been touted in the Year's Best for New York's Village Voice. This nod is on the heels of Derek's making the Top Ten of the Year in the Detroit Metro Times critics poll, alongside the likes of Alice Cooper and the White Stripes.
At #374, Miller's CD places in the top poll's 28 percent of more than 1,950 entries, tied with Gord Downie (Battle of the Nudes) and topping Pat Metheny (One Quiet Night), Dwight Yokum (Population Me), Dave Holland Quintet, Sam Roberts (We Were Born In A Flame), John Mayer (Heavier Things and Fabric 13), Neil Young (On The Beach) amongst many others.
In November 2003, Derek won the prestigious Best Blues/Jazz Recording at the 2003 Native American Music Awards, held at the Isleta Casino Resort in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Derek was also nominated for Artist of the Year, Best Song/Single of the Year and Best Producer.
Last year, Derek has showcased at the Canadian Music Week, JunoFest, NxNE and at Grammy Week in New York and recently brought the house down with a live performance at the Nammy's. This spring sees Derek back at Canadian Music Week prior to showcasing at the New Orleans Jazz Festival.
Derek led the musical tribute to Robbie Robertson's induction into Canada's Walk Of Fame, playing alongside Tom Cochrane and Sarah Harmer at Roy Thomson Hall last June. The performance was broadcast live on Global Television.
