John R Miller is a true hyphenate artist: singer-songwriter-picker. Born in the Washington, DC
area and raised in West Virginia, Miller has built a reputation as a thoughtful, boundary-pushing
voice in alt-country and Americana, drawing from punk, traditional Appalachian music, and less
conventional rock influences. Every song on his thrilling debut solo album, Depreciated, is lush
with intricate wordplay and haunting imagery, backed by a band that is on fire. One of his
biggest long-time fans is roots music favorite Tyler Childers, who says he’s “a well-travelled
wordsmith mapping out the world he’s seen, three chords at a time.” Miller is somehow able to
transport us to a shadowy honkytonk and get existential all in the same line with his tightly
written compositions. For more information on John R. Miller, and to catch him live, visit
