TESTIMONIALS
Formed in 2006, the Jeremy Miller Band is Austin’s latest and most intriguing contribution to a booming Red Dirt scene. The native Texas quartet belts out a raw, gritty, uncompromising blend of pure country and power rock, placing them in the same tier as contemporaries Cross Canadian Ragweed, Randy Rogers, Reckless Kelly, Brandon Rhyder, Roger Creager, Bleu Edmondson and even Lynyrd Skynyrd.
With an energetic and spontaneous live show, the Jeremy Miller Band is a force to be reckoned with in the Red Dirt scene. JMB's performances include notable Austin venues Momo’s, The Nutty Brown and La Zona Rosa, as well as top notch clubs like The Executive Surf Club (Corpus Christi), Adair’s (Dallas) and Longhorn’s (Manhattan, Kansas).
2009 was highlighted by a selection to open for Grammy winning Asleep at the Wheel in their own hometown. In August 2009, the band released their debut album, Way Too Fast, to critical acclaim. Produced by Texas guitar legend Keith Davis (Bonnie Bishop, The Scott Wiggins Band, Barnhill), and recorded at the Zone Studios in Dripping Springs (Ray Wylie Hubbard, the Flatlanders, Robert Earl Keen, The Dixie Chicks), the Jeremy Miller Band has crafted a solid release of heartfelt ballads, swinging two-steppers and no-holds-barred rockers. Highlighted by the eponymous single, Way Too Fast, that will put you on that Texas highway with your windows down and your radio up.
The Jeremy Miller Band is an editor’s pick on www.indiemusic.com, having three singles on the Country Chart Top 10, with “Way Too Fast” peaking at #3. They have appeared on numerous radio and TV spots, and have secured radio play in several small and large markets. The Jeremy Miller Band has sold successfully within and outside of the southwestern region while also obtaining international distribution, all as a self-funded, independent act.
With all the elements of success in its possession, the Jeremy Miller Band is a breakout group that is a must-see attraction in the southwest region. Keep an eye out for the Jeremy Miller Band as they gear up to take their show into your town.

"RED DIRT"
“The Jeremy Miller Band should be more popular with Texas radio than Miller Lite at a Dallas Cowboys game. They have crafted a deeply personal, rockin’ Texas country album that should be on the shelf of any person who calls himself a Red Dirt fan. “Way Too Fast” is way too good to be overlooked.”

Lone Star Music Magazine – Jan/Feb Issue
Sometimes bands fly under my personal radar like a treetop-clipping smugglers plane flying stealthily through the fog. I wish I had discovered them sooner, but better a little late than never. “Way Too Fast” is tightly arranged and insightfully delivered with a smile of self-assurance that you are on the right dirt road and headed toward a good time. It’s a solid piece of work from the very first notes of the opening title song to the last refrain of the sad closer “17 Wheels.” What’s more, the four talented musicians in the band just happen to be the genuinely nice guys you can’t help but want to pull for. They deserve to be heard and they deserve an honest shot at a long, successful career on the Texas scene and beyond. Do yourself a favor, like I finally did, and catch up to The Jeremy Miller Band and Way Too Fast. You’ll be glad you did.

Insite Magazine – The Jeremy Miller Band – Way Too Fast
Cut from the same cloth as Red Dirt rockers like Reckless Kelley and Cory Morrow, The Jeremy Miller Band comes out of the gate like seasoned veterans with Way Too Fast. It really is amazing to know this is their self-released freshman effort.
The tunes kick off with the driving title track. It’s a half-ballad, half-rocker that sets the pace and the there. These songs are about losing, loving and leaving. Typical country fodder, but these guys have a little different twist. Lyrically and musically this album is on par with the guys in the big leagues.
I really dug this CD. There isn’t a song I don’t like between the 10 tracks. They’ve got that Red Dirt sound down well, Miller’s voice is just the right tinge of whiskey stained and he lyrics are framed within the country/rock/jam music played by guitarist Sonny Bihl and bassist Seth Tobin.
