NAME: Lance Miller BIRTHPLACE: Mt. Vernon, Illinois CURRENT RESIDENCE: Nashville PETS/NAMES: No pets CAUSES/CHARITIES: St. Jude INSTRUMENTS: Guitar INFLUENCES: My Dad, Merle Haggard, Austin Cunningham FAVORITE SONG OR SONG YOU WISH YOU HAD WRITTEN: You Were Always On My Mind
DESERT ISLAND ALBUMS: Merle Haggard box set, Van Halen - 5150, Rodney Crowell Diamonds and Dirt. I guess I better take some George Strait too and definitely my own album since it took me ten years to get to make it. FAVORITE BOOK/MOVIE: Book Merle Haggards My House of Memories: For the Record, Movies The Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, The Patriot, Dumb and Dumber, Christmas VacationHOBBIES: Golf, Fishing, Boating WHEN DID YOU START PERFORMING: My first actual performance was at age 14. My Dad got me up with a few of his old band members at a Catholic wedding reception. I sang Thats The Way Love Goes. BEST PLACE EVER PLAYED: Nashville Star Hometown visit Fairfield, IL. The gym was packed and the energy and love in the room was overwhelming. WORST PLACE EVER PLAYED: Salt Petre Cave, pronounced Salt Peter Cave in Murphysboro, Illinois. It was a beautiful location and beautiful day. Unfortunately only four people showed up. Two were family and the other two were strippers. I did sell CDs to half the crowd, not sure which half. Oh yeahwe didnt get paid either. FIRST ALBUM OWNED: KC and the Sunshine Band FIRST CONCERT ATTENDED: My Dad opening for Barbara Mandrell, Newton, IL 1974. THE STORY BEHIND GETTING SIGNED: It started when Buddy Cannon introduced me to Tracy Gershon. I auditioned and later became a finalist on Nashville Star where Tracy and the Warren Brothers were judges. After NS, Tracy came out to see me at a show at the Exit/In in Nashville. The Warren Brothers were already working with me by this time. To make a long story short, it is because of Tracy Gershon and the Warren Brothers belief in me that I have a deal today. FIRST PERSON YOU CALLED AFTER GETTING YOUR DEAL: My wife WORDS OF WISDOM/WORDS TO LIVE BY/BEST ADVICE EVER RECEIVED: I think everyone reaches an age when you look back at what your parents taught you, and wonder if it all makes sense. I went through that a few years back. My Dad told me to borrow the good things I had learned from him, and throw the rest away. Dad said, Sometimes when you follow in your familys footsteps, it makes the rut deeper.

Hi! I have a new song- its called "End of the Day". Click on my profile & give it a listen, let me know what you think! Hope you like it =) ~~Amber Lily~~ <3 <3 <3
Lance, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANCE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. Just wanted to stop by and wish you a Happy Birthday. May you have a wonderful day, doing nothing today, but sitting in your lazy-boy and watching Seinfeld. Have a great day my friend.
Hey Lance - Thanks for the friendship! Music links us all together. There are wars taking place in every country in the world. Some are just more obvious. Check out my new video "Simpler Time". Reach out and make a difference and the ripple will be felt around the world. It has to come from within each of us. The alternative is unacceptable. Music can make a difference. Keep reaching out.
Hey Lance, Hope everything's going well with you. I'm real excited about coming to nashville, I arrive on the 2nd of july, and leave on the 8th, and i was hoping while i was there we could maybe catch up at some point? I'm coming with one of my best friends from years back. I hope you're having a good summer, last week I turned 18 and finally finished school, so it's turning into a pretty awesome summer. Say hi to the family for me, Love, Philly
Hey Lance! I heard 'George Jones & Jesus' today on KWNA out of Winnemucca, NV. Been a long time since they played it so I called and left a message thanking them for it.
I have the CD of course but it always exciting to hear one of my Nashville Star favorites on the radio!
