Roger Clark Miller / Business Jazz / Satyr Elfheim
Solo performance by the legendary Mission of Burma guitarist at Government Center.
715 East St North Side
Roger Clark Miller is a guitarist, pianist, bassist, composer, singer, percussionist and occasional cornet player. His recordings have appeared on Matador, Fire, Ace of Hearts, SST, New Alliance, Forced Exposure, Cuneiform, Atavistic, Feeding Tube, Fun World, World in Sound, and others. He has toured nationally since 1979 and internationally since 1998.
His career officially began in 1979 when he co-founded the influential post-punk band Mission of Burma on guitar and vocals. The band is in Michael Azzerad's book on indie rock "Our Band could Be Your Life". He is also the keyboardist for the Anvil Orchestra silent film composing ensemble with recent shows at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and the Roger Ebert Film Festival.
He has performed in too many ensembles beside these, and made too many wildly diverse records to mention here, generally pushing the boundaries of sound and composition. He has scored soundtracks that appeared at the Sundance and the Telluride Film Festivals, and his art installation "Transmuting the Prosaic", has been at two different art museums.
For this concert, Miller will be performing compositions from his newest album on Cuneiform Records "Curiosity for Solo Electric Guitar Ensemble".
$20 advance, $25 at the door, all ages.
