I produce and present an Americana radio show - The Miller Tells Her Tale. It was broadcast on internet station SpydaRadio for 4 years until that sadly folded. I have now turned it into an 80 minute, weekly podcast available via itunes (search for Karen Miller, or Americana - The Miller Tells Her Tale). or via my website www.themillertellshertale.co.uk. You can also subscribe using the following rss file: http://www.tapecircle.co.uk/spydaradio/tmtht.xml
If you are an artist in the Americana/Folk/Singer-Songwriter genres, and own the copyright to your material and would like me to consider playing your music on my show then please send me a message. I have had permission from many excellent musicians including Buddy Miller, Eliza Gilkyson, Kevin Welch, Rod Picott, Slaid Cleaves, Jason Ringenberg, Chuck Prophet, Kevin Gordon, David Mead and many many more...
The Miller Tells Her Tale now also broadcasts on Radio Six International. Check this station out for a great selection of independent music.
I present a 1 hour show on CMR Nashville, it's called "Now That's Americana" and will feature a similar playlist to this show although I don't need permission from the artists so there will be a wider mix of music. Each new show initially broadcasts on Friday at 2pm UK time and is repeated at 10pm, then on Saturday at 2am and 6pm.

Mike Farris performed at the Tribute to Porter Wagoner show at the Americana Music Conference in Nashville in October - his performance of Green Green Grass of Home was spine-tingling and earned him a standing ovation - I found it on youtube...

This month we have Regina Spektor with the theme to the film Prince Caspian (but don’t let that put you off, it is really rather wonderful), Mermaid Skeletons with a great song that’s worth it for the chorus alone, the Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir, who are as good as their name if not more so and finally the legendary Chip Taylor with the thought-provoking Former American Soldier. Great listening, and if you like the tracks, buy the albums!
My new single 'Come North' is out now on Leftarm Records, and is taken from the album 'Book of Days' produced by Fran Ashcroft (Gorillaz/Dandy Warhols).
Please come and have a listen, your feedback is very welcome!

Good evening! I'll be starting a tour in the UK next week, and wanted to let you know. You may have heard my guitar playing and not even realized it was me. I played with Buddy Holly, and when you listen to "It's So Easy" or "Heartbeat"...well, that is me. We will play some of the Buddy Holly songs that i played on so many years ago, and a few more! I might even sing a couple. I hope you can make one of the dates? Best, Tommy Allsup
Karen! Thank you so much for playing "My Caroline". We were both thrilled to fidn it on #239. We really appreciate your support and will be mailing you a disc when it's released next month.
