Derek Miller
With his unique take on roots rock, and soul-stirring blues, singer/songwriter/guitarist Derek Miller is a force of musical nature, as powerful, solid, and commanding as the Canadian Rockies.
Country superstar Willie Nelson likes Miller’s work so much that he recorded a duet with him for Miller’s 10th album, the 2010 ‘Derek Miller with Double Trouble’. Canada’s Olympic committee, wanting an artist that re flected Canada’s roots, hired Miller to rock the crowds at the closing ceremonies of Vancouver’s 2010 winter Olympics. Later, in 2010, audiences at the New Orleans Jazz Festival went wild for Miller, demanding encore after encore.
With ten albums to his credit, Miller has variously shared a stage with, amongst many others: Blood Sweat and Tears, George Thorogood, Smokey Robinson, The Neville Brothers and fellow aboriginal artist Buffy St. Marie. Miller has been rewarded for his talent many times including two Juno Awards, two Aboriginal People’s Choice Awards, and four Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards. Miller has also achieved recognition as an actor, receiving a Gemini nomination in 2006. He has appeared in several television shows, most recently as a guest star in 2009’s ‘Cashing In’, a dramatic comedy series, airing on APTN, about casino life on a fictional Aboriginal Reserve in Southern Manitoba.
