We are safe and healthy and being very careful so I'm hoping for a good resolution of this very strange and amplified time. Please stay safe out there and be patient. This too shall pass.</p>
<p>Many Blessings</p>

We have been busily booking for the year and beyond.</p>Bruce Michael Millertag:brucemichaelmiller.com,2005:Post/62921152020-04-23T14:30:27-05:002023-12-10T13:51:12-06:002019...Kidney transplant..Yikes and Blessings<p>2019 was for me a year of medical tests and tests and procedures and major surgery and recovery. I did have a lot of gigs as a soloist and with my duo crazyloveduo. I did several house concerts and lots of recording and then had a kidney transplant on August 6th. My amazing girlfriend and music partner Heather Platts turned out to be a match and donated her kidney to me..saving my life and ability to perform. That's a Big Give for sure which just happens to be the title of our transplant themed show and CD soon to be released.</p>
<p>The last 6 months of 2019 were mostly dedicated to recovery and getting ready to get back in the saddle. We are both doing great physically and ready to rock and roll!</p>Bruce Michael Millertag:brucemichaelmiller.com,2005:Post/55523792018-12-13T11:48:38-06:002023-12-10T12:16:40-06:00So Long 2018 and blessings to you all.<p>I've had a very interesting and intense year. Huge changes in relationships, location, and just about everything else but through it all I've been performing and writing and meeting new challenges hopefully with some grace and kindness. Looking forward to 2019 and all it holds. I should have a new record out with some of the new songs on it. I think they reflect the times and the changes we are all going through as a nation and as humans. Many Blessings and Happy Holidays.</p>Bruce Michael Millertag:brucemichaelmiller.com,2005:Post/50106962018-01-06T16:48:19-06:002024-03-12T07:47:29-05:00Holy Crap a lot has happened.<p>I've been so busy these last several months that I've let my website go unattended.</p>
<p>I had an amazing summer touring throughout the northwest starting in Kansas City to Denver to Washington to Idaho to Montana and back to Idaho then to Nashville.</p>
<p>The fall found me in the Carolinas for some great shows and finally in Florida to survey the Hurricane damage and spread some love in the form of music. </p>
<p>November I spent packing up my studio and my life for a huge move to Idaho in early December. After 21 years in Nashville I'm now residing in Idaho and booking gigs across the state and the region and the country. I'll be in Tampa Florida on Jan 28th to play for the "Among friends House show and then to Nashville for two weeks for some co-writing and visiting with my son and my friends. </p>
<p>I've got some great new music that I will finish recording as soon as I find a spot for my studio.</p>Bruce Michael Millertag:brucemichaelmiller.com,2005:Post/48509912017-09-14T18:23:57-05:002024-01-24T02:44:28-06:00I'm in Charlotte NC<p>On the road this weekend where I'm performing at The Shaggy Turtle house concert on Friday night.

I was just invited to join Concerts In Your Home which is an organization formed to help connect performing songwriters with House concert hosts.

I'd love to come to your home and do a concert!<p><a contents="http://www.concertsinyourhome.com/resources/forhosts.html" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.concertsinyourhome.com/resources/forhosts.html" target="_blank">http://www.concertsinyourhome.com/resources/forhosts.html</a></p>Bruce Michael Millertag:brucemichaelmiller.com,2005:Post/44249002016-10-18T15:33:49-05:002023-12-20T01:55:34-06:00Whoopie!We all know how much rejection is involved in the music biz so when we actually get recognized it feels so good. I recently took the grand prize in the Smoky Mountain Songwriters festival for my song "I'm Gonna Save You." It's available for sale on this site.<br>I also won the 2016 Los Angeles Independent Film Festival for best song for the movie "Halloween Party" Bruce Michael Millertag:brucemichaelmiller.com,2005:Post/42428362016-06-22T11:48:25-05:002023-12-10T13:03:19-06:00Summer NAMM show in NashvilleGetting ready for one of my favorite events, Summer NAMM. That's the National Association of Music Merchants. Basically a huge trade show full of cool new gear, amazing hand made guitars and other instruments along with vendors and merchants. A great way to reconnect to old friends. I'm excited to see Tim Godwin who is the AR person for Taylor guitars. Tim and I played together many years ago in Laura Branigans band. Unfortunately Laura passed away a few years back..way too young.<br>Tomorrow night I will be in the round at the Millennium Maxwell Hotel in Nashville with my favorite friends.
