The JiMiller Band

The JiMiller Band is a five-member band out of Cleveland, Ohio. The band is led by Jim's resonating vocals and jazz-infused lead guitar, Dave Blackerby plays the bass, Steve "Nev" Scheff on keyboards, Brian "Bagel" Golenberg on drums, and Vince Berry on guitar.

The JiMiller Band's style is as varied as their influences; JiMiller blends together blues, country, Cajun, rock 'n' roll, jazz and bluegrass into a musical Americana that is both fresh and timeless in their everlasting sets. However, the band is best known for its freeform improvisation rock that was made famous by The Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers.

Their lead man Jim Miller has been playing music for most of his life and was the former frontman of the band Oroboros, orchestrating their 18-year odyssey on the road, opening for the 1994 H.O.R.D.E. Festival, the 1996 Further Festival, The Kinks, Hot Tuna, Santana, Richard Thompson, Robert Hunter and members of the Grateful Dead just to name a few. He has also had the privilege of sharing the stage and jamming with Blues Traveler, Sheryl Crow, The Allman Brothers, Hot Tuna and the legendary John Cipollina of Quicksilver Messenger Service.

In 1994 Jim opened for Phish at the Agora. The JiMiller Band played the 10,000 Lakes Festival in 2004 with String Cheese, and Galactic. They opened for Bruce Hornsby, and during the summer 2005 & 2006 they opened for Little Feat at Cleveland's House of Blues. They also opened for Rusted Root on Memorial Day weekend 2007, at Tower City Amphitheater and again to a sold out crowd on NYE 2007 @ House of Blues, Cleveland. The JiMiller Band truly shines at music festivals. Over the summer of 2009-2010, the band kicked off the season at Nelson Ledges, for Early bird Fest.

On Labor day 2010 Jim opened for the Rhythm Devils with Mickey Hart and Bill Kruetzman from The Dead. Jim loves music festivals so much, he even throws his own each summer at Nelson Ledges, called Lazy Daisy.
