âThe band and production crew are working on creating an even better concert experience for 2018 and plan on wading even deeper into the musical waters Peter Frampton and I enjoyed last summer.

âHaving had such a fantastic tour together last summer, Steve and I decided to keep going this year,â he said. âJamming together each night during Steveâs set is one of my favorite moments of the evening. Canât wait to get back out there.â
Steve Miller was a mainstay of the San Francisco music scene that upended American culture in the late â60s. With albums like Children of the Future, Sailor and Brave New World, Miller perfected a psychedelic blues sound that drew on the deepest sources of American roots music and simultaneously articulated a compelling vision of what music-and society-could be in the years to come.
Then, in the â70s, Miller crafted a brand of rock ânâ roll music that was polished, exciting and irresistible, and that has dominated radio through today. Hit followed hit in an endless flow: âThe Joker,â âLivinâ in the USA,â âTake the Money and Run,â âRockân Me,â âFly Like an Eagle,â âJet Airliner,â âJungle Love,â and âAbracadabraâ among them. To this day, these songs are instantly recognizable when they come on the radio-and impossible not to sing along with.
The Steve Miller Band has played to more than 20 million people in the last 20 years. In addition to touring with his band, Miller is also contributing his time to serving on the welcoming committee of the Department of Musical Instruments of New Yorkâs Metropolitan Museum of Art and as a board member of Jazz at Lincoln Center, where he curates and hosts shows at both institutions celebrating blues, jazz and early American music.
