BELLOWS FALLS, Vt. – Roger Clark Miller is the founding guitarist of the highly influential rock band Mission of Burma, and has performed nationally and internationally as a solo artist and leading a variety of bands and ensembles. He’s also a respected writer, music historian, and more.
The songs on his new album, “The Green Man,” have a different feel from anything he’s done previously, evolving out of a series of “Unplugged From a Band” shows. This record has been a long time coming, and Miller will be performing selections solo with just his guitar, voice, and a looper.
Michael Tarbox writes songs anchored in rock ‘n’ roll, backwater blues, hillbilly music, and country – rough-hewn, immediate, and hard-won. His songs have been used in the television shows “Sons of Anarchy” and “Supernatural.”
“My inspirations are musicians from a world that’s vanished. I let them guide me, but my goal is to create something new,” he says. Tarbox began his career with the Tarbox Ramblers, a hard-hitting quartet that released well-received albums on Rounder and played countless shows throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Roger Clark Miller celebrates his new album, “The Green Man,” in a 3 p.m. matinee concert on Sunday, Oct. 11, at Stage 33 Live in Bellows Falls, Vt. At Clark’s request, Tarbox shares the bill.
