Pre-Order: Dave Miller - Party In The Pines [CD]

Dave Miller has been playing music, performing, and writing songs for 5 decades. He has played in taverns, dance halls, concert venues, festivals, showcases, and co?ee houses from coast to coast across the US and in British Columbia. Dave began playing music at age 13 when his mother bought him a five-string banjo for Christmas the year his father passed away. Dave would tune it up and play along with the country and bluegrass stars who performed on the Saturday afternoon music shows. He sometimes jokes that it was the great Earl Scruggs himself who taught Dave to play the banjo-Dave sitting on his sofa in Little Rock, Arkansas, Earl in the television studio in Nashville, Tennessee. Dave joined his first band, The 49ers, shortly thereafter in 1964 at the age of 14. Over time, Levon Helm, Merle Haggard, Delbert McClinton, Guy Clark, and John Prine all came to influence him. On Party in the Pines, Dave's fifth full-length album project and the third an Howlin' Dog Records, Dave once again takes us on a tour of life's adventures as seen through his trademark window of wit, heart, and deep observation.
