John R. Miller

Songwriter John R. Miller makes an intimate stop at Lexington's favorite dive bar in support of his fifth album, "The Great unknowing." 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. For this record, he left his comfort zone behind and traveled to Tulsa to record at the legendary Church Studio, drawn by the city’s deep musical legacy and its ties to artists like J.J. Cale. The result is his most ambitious work yet, a spacious, textured collection blending road-worn storytelling, fuzzy atmospheres and reflections on movement, memory and change.
