Welcome, music enthusiasts, to another soul-stirring episode of the Wisconsin Music Podcast. Today, we embark on a musical odyssey with the one and only Jeffery Miller, a maestro of melodies and a living encyclopedia of musical tales.
Jeffery's journey began at the tender age of 5 when his grandmother bestowed upon him a cheap guitar, igniting a passion that would shape his life. From playing his first public performance at a 6th-grade show & tell to becoming the backbone of his grade school band, Jeffery's early years were a testament to his unyielding love for music. Join us as he recounts the days of playing for any audience, anywhere, at any price – a testament to the sheer joy of making music.
As adolescence beckoned, Jeffery's band "Justice" (a strict cover band) faced encounters with the authorities, including a memorable showdown with the police during a garage rehearsal that only cranked up the volume. The narrative takes an exciting turn as Jeffery and his bandmates decided to take their musical fate to Los Angeles, recording their first album "Just A Thought" in 1977. The journey unfolds as Jeffery delves into the next 25 years of his life, navigating the music industry as a promoter, producer, agent, and manager, working with everyone from Liberace to Metallica.
The tales continue with Jeffery's foray into managing local, national, and international artists, opening shows for legendary names like Johnny Cash and Jackson Browne. His personal musical endeavors shine through, with the release of two original albums featuring collaborations with renowned musicians and memorable moments like jamming with Bob Marley's guitar in Kingston, Jamaica.
Fast forward to 2021, Jeffery introduces us to his current band, sharing anecdotes about each unique member and the magic that happens when they come together. As we look ahead, Jeffery unveils exciting projects, including a compilation DVD and a Chuck Berry tribute album. His passion for music remains unwavering as he reflects on the bright moments of his career, including playing air guitar and dancing with Chuck Berry on stage.
Join us in celebrating the resilience, creativity, and boundless joy that Jeffery Miller brings to the Wisconsin music scene. This episode is not just a glimpse into Jeffery's journey; it's an immersive experience that encapsulates the essence of a lifelong love affair with music.
