Steve Miller
plays the Dobro and guitar. Though not a songwriter himself,
he’s always found himself drawn to talented ones like
the Hagelberger boys. Working on the Greenwich Village folk
scene in 1977, Steve met up with Tom Cunningham, who was looking
for a bass player. (Tom: "You know how to play bass,
don’t you , Steve?" Steve: "Well, uh....Sure,
I guess so!") A three-week gig with Tom at the Folk Pub
in Berlin ended up as a seven year tour of duty in the Walled
City. During that time Steve played and/or recorded with all
the singer-songwriters now connected with the Hagelberger
project. Also in 1977, he met Shelley Beal (singing backup
with the Tom Cunningham Band!) and they were married in 1980.
Steve and Shelley
left Berlin in 1984 and moved to Toronto, Shelley’s home
town. Since then Steve’s work has been connected mostly
with country music in one or another of its many forms. In
1996 the CD Dobrology:
From Bop to Broadway on the steel guitar was released
on Steve’s own Rumrill Records. He and Shelley moved
to the Toronto suburb of Brampton in 1997, where they live
happily with a pile of guitars and their dog Lucky Bill.
Steve plays a Yanuziello
Resophonic dobro.
