“I just had a moment of magic in the LRBC Piano Bar! A deeply soulful musician with a fearless mind and the heart of a hopeless romantic. And oh those magic fingers! That joyful spirit of Jack Kerouac and Steve Allen in one man?! Hallelujah baby!”
- Peggy Lou - Awake and Willing. WWOZ New Orleans

“Scottie Miller’s latest ‘project’ is a performance art gumbo of original poetry and music breathed life by his creativity. The poetry has the mellifluous lilt of a songwriter/lyricist while imbuing significant substance born of the adroit observations of a witness/ commentator on the path of his life. The music is the soundtrack of his heart and soul. Paired together it is simply brilliant performance art. One without the other would surely make you crave ‘the rest of the story’. The book and soundtrack will fill a much needed spot in your collection. The LIVE Performance will allow you to feel the breath and taste the splendor of art birthed as magnificently intended.”
- John Hammer; Publisher Blue Monday Monthly and Producer/Host of Hammered By The Blues radio

“A Twin Cities musical treasure, Scottie Miller—keyboardist, singer, songwriter and bandleader—now adds poet to his list of talents. Drawing on his own life experiences as well as those of the down and out, his words and music elicit feelings of hope amidst adversity.”
- Carolyn Walkup - Big City Rhythm & Blues Magazine.

He is the shining sun and the center of the universe of the Scottie Miller Band's musical solar system, thanks to an eclecticism and talent very rare to find nowadays in a musician.”
