Barry Miller

I AM A SINGER/SONGWRITER/GUITARIST/POET AND STORYTELLER. I WAS BORN ON NOV. 29TH 1958 IN NORRISTOWN, PA.~~~~ IN 1974 MY PARENTS DRAGGED ME KICKING AND DREAMING TO CALIFORNIA WHERE I BEGAN MY LIFE LONG SEARCH FOR A PLACE CALLED NORMAL, CA. THAT CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. ALONG THAT JOURNEY I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE ALMOST AS MANY TIMES AS I'VE FALLEN ON MY FACE, WHICH IS A LOT. THE RESULTS OF THOSE FALLS CAN BE HEARD IN MY SONGS AND SEEN ON SOME OLD POLICE BOOKING PHOTOS.~~~~ I HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH A GIRL CALLED WANDA FOR THE PAST 16 YEARS AND I HAVE 3 SONS, 2 STEPDAUGHTERS, 1 STEPSON, 1 STEPGRANDSON, 1 STEPDOG AND I'VE BEEN TOLD I COULD USE A 12 STEP PROGRAM.~~~~ AS FAR AS MY MUSIC GOES, THE BEST DESCRIPTION I EVER HEARD WAS FROM DOC ROGERS, FOUNDER OF THE MUSIC AWARDS FOR VENTURA ROOTS AND INDEPENDANT CREATIONS (THE M.A.V.R.I.C. AWARDS) WHO ONCE TOLD ME "BARRY, YOUR KINDA LIKE A GENRE UNTO YOURSELF."~~~~IN 2007 I WAS AWARDED THE FIRST M.A.V.R.I.C. EVER HANDED OUT FOR MY SONG "DADDY". I WAS NOMINATED AGAIN FOR 2008 FOR MALE VOCAL OF THE YEAR, WHICH IS A MIRACLE IN ITSELF BECAUSE THE DAY I RECORDED THAT SONG I WAS HITTIN' THE HELIUM TANK PRETTY HARD.AND FOLK SONG OF THE YEAR WHICH, EVEN THOUGH I'M PRIMARILY A BLOOZE SINGER, IS UNDERSTANDABLE BECAUSE THE NIGHT I WROTE THAT SONG I WAS PRETTY FOLKED UP. AS A MATTER OF FACT I WAS OUTTA MY FOLKIN' MIND.~~~~TWO OF MY SONS ARE MUSICIANS AND THEIR BANDS CAN BE FOUND IN MY TOP FRIENDS LIST.~~~~ERIC (20) PLAYS GUITAR IN A BALLS TO THE WALLS ROCK BAND CALLED T.U., WHICH STANDS FOR "THE UGLIES" AND THE NAME REALLY FITS.AND DYLAN (17) PLAYS DRUMS IN A GREAT SKA/ROCK BAND CALLED "THE BOSS BEATS".DROP IN AND PAY THEM A VISITTHEY'D BE GLAD TO HAVE YOU.
