Local stuff you want to hear

Here's a little something I've been listening to lately - local musician Ryan Miller's newest CD "As the Crow Flies." It's the second solo CD for Miller, who is best known for his time in the folk-rock band The Reuben James and more recently in the modern rock band Modus.

For those of you familiar with Miller's older works, it's tended to weigh on the side of folk. But, in "As the Crow Flies" Miller offers something a little different - blues, alt-country and rock. I like it. I think it works. And, hey, it's free. Download the album at http://www.rmillermusic.com/ATCF.php.. You won't be disappointed. And if you are, well, you didn't have to pay for it, anyway.

Here's a little something from December 2008. Miller and J. Schnitt perform at The Devereux. The video's a little dark, but it's what you're going to hear that's important anyway.
