Combining the emotional honesty and intelligence of a singer/songwriter with the swagger and enthusiasm of a rock & roller, Scott Miller first made a name for himself as guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter with the superb pop/rock band the V-Roys, before establishing himself as a solo artist to watch on his first album with his ad hoc group the Commonwealth, Thus Always to Tyrants.
The youngest of three children born to a Pennsylvania Dutch father and a mother from the Deep South, Miller was born and raised in Swoope, VA, where he developed a youthful fascination with the Civil War and Appalachian history that resonated in his later work.
