Larry miller blues guitarist biography channel What are some of the most memorable gigs and jams you've had? Miller and band like to stretch out, with some lengthy tracks here. Then we had 'Fearless', It became really hard work; it all made sense, though.How could I not do this too! Like Rory I'd work under my own name, with a band. I'd do all the writing, singing, producing, playing and leading."
Very quickly, Larry found his own Blues/Rock style, and has been constantly refining it. He is a guitarist, singer, songwriter, with a love for his music which is simply infectious.
After many years in the music business and touring constantly, Larry has built up a large following across the UK and building an ever increasing army of fans in Europe. His status as guitar slinger, is becoming legendary with his exciting, mesmerizing guitar playing and rip roaring live shows.
His engaging personality brings a dimension of showmanship to his performances like no other. In , Larry played an amazing seven encores at the Cambridge Rock Festival and a declaration was made of a "National Larry Miller day".

What I do know is that Larry Miller balanced a daytime job with being part of a band. At one point, his wife suggested that he give up one or the other and that was the start of his full time music career. Larry has never looked back. He is also appreciative of his audiences and enjoys bantering with them both during and after performances.
Taken from the "Blues In Britain" magazine ():
A natural showman, Larry had the crowd in the palm of his hand from the outset, due in no small part to the obvious enjoyment he takes from playing and that feeling is reciprocated by his fans, so my only regret of the evening was that I hadnt discovered him earlier"
It is sometimes easy to miss out on great European blues artists (for us on this side of the pond) but for Larry Miller, the same is true for him right in Britain.
