The JiMiller Band is a four member band that plays some of the best
new music in the Midwest, with Jim's resonating vocals and jazz-infused lead guitar, Brett Miller on bass, Steve "Nev" Scheff playing keyboards and Brian "Bagel" Golenberg on drums.
The JiMiller Band's style is as varied as their influences; JiMiller "blends together blues, country, cajun, old rock 'n' roll, jazz and bluegrass into a musical Americana that is both fresh and timeless" in their everlasting sets. However, the band is best known for its freeform improvisation rock that was made famous by The Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers.
Their lead man Jim Miller has been playing music for most of his life and was the former frontman of the band Oroboros, orchestrating their 18-year odyssey on the road, opening for the 1994 H.O.R.D.E. Festival, the 1996 Further Festival, The Kinks, Hot Tuna, Santana, Richard Thompson, Robert Hunter and members of the Grateful Dead just to name a few. He has also had the privilage of sharing the stage and jamming with Blues Traveler, Sheryl Crow, The Allman Brothers, Hot Tuna and the legendary John Cipollina of Quicksilver Messenger Service.
The JiMiller Band played the 10,000 Lakes Festival in 2004 with String Cheese, and Galactic. They opened for Bruce Hornsby, and during the summer 2005 & 2006 they opened for Little Feat at Cleveland’s House of Blues. They also opened for Rusted Root on Memorial Day weekend 2007, at Tower City Amphitheatre and again to a sold out crowd on NYE 2007 @ House of Blues, Cleveland.
The JiMiller Band truly shines at music festivals. Over the summer of 2008, the band kicked off the season at Nelson Ledges, Memorial Day Weekend. Jim loves music festivals so much, he even throws his own each summer at Nelson Ledges, called Lazy Daisy and again in the Fall with DeadFall, focusing on the music of The Grateful Dead all weekend. The band also played the Grateful Garcia Gathering at Legend Valley opening for Boombox before heading to Myrtle Beach, SC to take part in Jerry Fest.
What will you get when you go to a JiMiller show? The JiMiller Band plays Jim's originals, Grateful Dead, Phish, Allman Brothers, Beatles, blues, folk, and rock n' roll. The JiMiller Band is a bright, positive star in the Midwestern music scene. Come on out and join the party!

David Lockhart's painfully excessive capturing of the booze-swilling and constantly concupiscent Jim Morrison is an encyclopedic homage to the ethos of rock. Boudeeka's haunting accurate portrayal of Janis Joplin is a tribute to women in rock and the raw emotion that was so much a part of the scene. Carlton Poward is an almost frightening replica with his spot-on Jimi Hendrix characterization and inspired guitar playing. Pat Craig Contra Costa Times
