Jeff Miller, a musician from Nashville, Tennesse, knew early on that music was in his blood. He started violin at five years old, and by eight was showing a serious aptitude for music and is a graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music. Jeff would attend his first Phil Keaggy show and it had a strong influence on him. This influence resulted in his long-standing affection for combining live performance with cutting edge technology. The result was Jeff’s innovative live-looping technique where he composes multiple layered songs in front of the audience. His music has been featured on nationally syndicated television, and CBS Sports.
