Mudstomp Records Presents; The Ben Miller Band
The Ben Miller Band is made up of three very different musicians. Ben Miller(slide guitar, lead vocals) began his musical career on the streets of northern Europe playing his distinctive delta-blues slide guitar for passers-by. He built an impressive collection of folk songs and original material as well as honing his distinctive performance style. Combine that with the home grown musical mad scientist Scott Leeper (washtub bass, backing vocals). He began his musical career at the age of ten, wowing audiences playing pop music in his family's band "The Leepers". Later he toured with delta-blues hero Lightnin' Boy Malcom, and also made a name for himself as a truly astounding one man band. To complete this trio of musicians comes Doug "Cap't Washboard" Dicharry (washboard, drums, trombone, backing vocals). As an Air Force brat growing up he assimilated an array of musical styles and attitudes. Moving every 4 years throughout the globe his one constant was music, from playing with punk, ska, and progressive noise bands to school marching bands. The three met in Joplin Missouri at open mic nights that Ben was running. The three naturally gravitated towards each other feeding off of their shared interests as well as their different influences. They have been relentlessly gigging 5 nights a week for over 3 years crafting a tight, dynamic yet amazingly original sound. Don't miss the Ben Miller Band coming to your town soon.

  • wakarusa 2011.....skipped mumford & sons for ben miller band. yall fucking rock!

  • Cool clip... Looking forward to seeing you guys on our stage @ The Adelphia this Tuesday night! And first time I watched this, I thought you described Scott as a "washed up" bassist and I thought - Dang! That's cold! (And a curious way to promo the band too!) Then I turned up the volume and figured out it was really "wash tub" bass... Looking forward to some stompin' here in Marietta!
