Steve Miller Band

Detail:

Steve Miller Band, one of music's most interesting and prolific artists, will take stage at Horseshoe Indiana on Friday, August 7th. His career has encompassed two distinct stages: one of the top San Francisco blues-rockers during the late '60s and early '70s, and one of the top-selling pop/rock acts of the mid- to late '70s and early '80s. Miller and a varying cast of musicians--always billed as the Steve Miller Band--would produce music that was alternately psychedelic, bluesy, R&B-inspired, country-tinged, discofied, highly synthetic, and straight-out jazzy. Even more remarkable than that variety was his ability to perform skillfully in those modes without submerging the core of his sound or his own personality. In short, Miller's 17 albums sound nothing alike--but always very much like the work of Steve Miller.

Miller recently announced the impending release of a new studio album of R&B covers, which would be his first studio album since the 1993 album “Wide River”.  He will include material from this album in his summer tour and will continue to focus on every aspect of his multi-faceted music - from solo acoustic numbers to hard driving Chicago Blues, from R&B classics to his own classics, always including a healthy helping of his twenty chart records including the top ten hits, "The Joker", "Rock 'n Me", "Fly Like An Eagle", and "Jet Airliner".
