The Steve Miller Band!

The Steve Miller Band was hot in the 70’s and 80’s. They brought something new to rock and I like everyone else was loving it. They had great beats, a unique sound and they just had an overall good vibe! Now what brings to mind The Steve Miller Band on this particular day is that this morning while watching “Morning with Joe” as they were exiting to commercial they usually have a few bars of a great sounding tune playing and today it happened to be “Dance Dance Dance” by The Steve Miller Band! There was a time when this band was at the top of my play list and I still love their music to this day.

Steve Miller was born On October 5, 1943 in Milwaukee and is a blues/rock guitarist. He formed his first band in high school which included “Boz Scaggs” better known for his hit song “Lowdown”. In college he formed another band and again Boz Scaggs became a band member. In 1968 The Steve miller Band was formed and after a couple of albums where Boz Scaggs sang lead he split from the band. Steve started to sing some lead vocals. None of the albums produced any hits until the 70’s when tunes such as “Jet Airliner” and “The Joker” became hits. Over the years the band has released a multitude of albums but "Abracadabra" will always be my favorite!

The band is still touring and performing and will be releasing a new album “Bingo” this year on June 15th on Space Cowboy Records. It will also be released on Itunes as early as May 18th and if you want to listen to the first track off the album “Hey Yeah” visit the bands Official Website.
