Rebecca Marie Miller is a force borne from Harrisburg, PA—an ever-expanding musical community. Miller's career dates back to 1996 at just the tender age of 16; her work then and since has been rooted in lilting, poly-instrumental, driving melodies dipped in melancholy. Lyrics serve as the focal point of her songs and stick close to confessional autobiography. For 10 formative years, Miller fronted and wrote songs with Harrisburg’s Brave the Day, a band that she co-founded. Upon the dissolution of Brave the Day, Miller packed up shop and headed west to Los Angeles spending nearly two years “making lots of mistakes and losing lots of money.” In early 2010, Miller sold most of her belongings and began a solitary and slow path back home. Making her way north and then east, Miller would reconnect with Laura Burhenn, friend and founder of the Omaha, Nebraska based music collective The Mynabirds. Not long after, Burhenn would invite Miller to tour nationally with The Mynabirds. Of that experience she says, “So many great things have happened since then, all because I took a long drive.” Miller’s music is devoted to contrasting the ruminating familiarity of home against the glittering promise of the open road. Tipping her hat to former band mates from Brave the Day and current band mates The Mynabirds, she’s made a name for herself in her native Harrisburg as a brown sparrow sprung from a cage. With a guitar as dark and weathered as her boots, Miller’s songs trace the spine of America, connecting the wooden stage to her rolling tires, celebrating the month she lived out of her car just as much as the afternoon she finally turned back into her driveway.
