ABOUT

QUICK BIO:

Kevin Miller of 9,999 is an award winning recording artist, composer and producer living in Santa Fe, NM. His performances are energetic, fun and dynamic pivoting between rock, indie rock and his original music.

He performs regularly both as a solo acoustic act and with his electric band 9,999.

In PERFORMANCE:

Miller is currently touring and performing as a solo artist with his acoustic guitar. His rootsy indie rock sound is brought life behind a unique guitar style and his soulful vocal presence. Miller likes an adventure: performances are anchored by his original material and salted with cover songs from various artists: Neil Young, Tom Waits, R.E.M., Bob Dylan, Bruce Cockburn, Twenty One Pilots, the Beatles, Grateful Dead and others. A night with Miller is always colorful revealing and memorable.

The VIBES:

9,999 (nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine) is the name of Miller's musical vehicle for exploring song forms and soundscapes in styles ranging from rootsy indie and alternative rock to the sonic gardens of his more experimental works. From beautiful and touching acoustic songs to richly energized and complex rock-ensemble pieces, Miller’s writing can uncover sweetness and vulnerability, evoking heart and home or can pivot to unspool a shifting array of rock-oriented songs full of compelling and dynamic imagery.

Fun Rules, Creativity Rules.

Miller's work reveals a passionate, fun and surprising musical spirit. "It feels best to me to stay in the creative flow...it is the funnest thing to do. It took me years to realize it but I realize now that: Fun rules. Creativity rules." After years in musical collaborations as a songwriter, arranger, and performer, Miller is now focused on developing his own songs and compositions. In the end though he loves to perform. "Up and performing, that's a solid place for me. I feel right at home there and I'm lucky enough to have something interesting and perhaps beautiful to say with my music”. Back home, Miller and his painter-wife Julia Meeks own The Violin Shop of Santa Fe where Miller has been doing violin restoration and repair for the past 35 years.
