Dale Miller

Don't miss this rare opportunity to hear one of the Bay Area's most respected fingerstyle guitarists live in concert. Dale Miller coaxes a sweet and mellow tone from his resonator guitars, a custom Martin and a vintage National steel-body, as he applies his seemingly effortless style to blues, ragtime, and jazz standards as well as to his original compositions.

Dale became an established acoustic music star with his mid-1970's release, Fingerpicking Rags and Other Delights. This highly influential album has inspired several generations of fingerstyle guitarists, as have Dale's subsequent recordings. His most recent CD Time Goes By,contains updated arrangements from his 1970s recordings and some new originals.
