Gabriel Miller-Phillips grew up just outside Boston, where he fell in love with music by listening to his parents' trashy old folk records. He left New England to attend college in New York and he tried to keep his mind on his schoolwork, not his guitar. Then life took a strange turn: Gabriel required major operations on both legs. He couldn't get out of bed but he could write music.
In '07 Gabriel recorded an EP entitled Shoot the Moon. He embarked on the Get Going tour with Alina Simone in the Winter of '07 and toured the southern USA in the spring of '08. In '09 Gabriel toured Japan. He is currently working on a full-length album.
