Miller and The Other Sinners is: David Michael Miller ("Miller") on vocals & guitars, Steve Davis on keys, organ, key bass, and vocals, Isaiah Griffin on drums & percussion, Dalton Sharp on saxophone, and Paul Gaspar on trumpet. These five tracked the band's latest full-length album in a studio Miller built in his mid-1800s farmhouse during the COVID shutdown.
"Thieves In The Breadline" documents the band's 4+ years of work together, capturing their live chemistry. Inspired by the Marcus King record produced by Warren Haynes, the album aims for a fat, warm sound with a modern presence. Miller engineered, arranged, produced, mixed, and mastered the project.
The songs address current and historic social struggles while also celebrating possibilities for the future. Highlights mentioned include the title track "Thieves In The Breadline" (a 70s-influenced hard-hitting soul tune about economic hardship), "Uneven" (a heavy blues/rock ballad about advantages and disadvantages faced by marginalized communities), "Street Child", and "Only 7" (a nod to the tragic shooting of Jacob Blake). The album also includes celebratory tracks like "Better Times, Better Days", "Rhythm Don't Mind", and "Low Down".
Two songs are inspired by the late Darick Campbell of The Campbell Brothers: the reggae-esque "Black Water Fishin" (which came from a conversation before a gig) and the tribute "Teach Me To Slide", which features Sonny Landreth, Terrell King, and Jay Moynihan.
Founded and led by Miller, who worked with The Campbell Brothers to release his first two albums, Miller and The Other Sinners grew from Miller's passion to collaborate with musicians who love American roots music and dynamic live performance. Miller has toured this evolving project for the last 9 years as an independent artist, performing over 1,300 shows at festivals (Borderland, Telluride, Flagstaff Blues and Brews, Fairport) as well as house concerts, dive bars, and configurations from solo up to a 10-piece band.
