Roger Clark Miller / Rick Maguire

About this event

Buy Tickets Roger Clark Miller was guitarist/vocalist/co-leader in the highly influential post-punk band Mission of Burma. Their album "Vs." was listed at number 19 in POP MATTERS' “50 Best Post-Punk Albums ever”, and number 24 in Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Punk Albums of All Time" . They have a chapter dedicated to them in the Indie Rock Bible "Our Band Could be Your Life." Miller was listed as number two of nine absolutely essential Post-Punk Guitarists in TONE REPORT. He continued expanding his guitar skills after Burma, recently in his "Dream Interpretations for Solo Electric Guitar Ensemble" and his current rock band "Trinary System" (both on Cuneiform Records). His new album, "The Green Man", due late summer 2026 on Don Giovanni Records, sees him returning to slightly more traditional song-writing. As a solo singer/songwriter, the lyrics are prominent, supported by his unique guitar stylings. Minimal loops create the illusion of more than one player on-stage, and give him room to explore the guitar in ways that only he can. Residual post-punk collides with psychedelia and a use of words that is not run of the mill. Response to the solo live shows has been exceptional, and to his surprise, new songs appear on a regular basis. Pop Matters, Jan. 2023: “His skills as a guitar player and his bottomless imagination have collided in a perfect encapsulation of the two traits, bringing forth a third strand that just can’t be imitated by anyone else, no matter how hard anyone should try.” Treble Magazine, 2026: “Miller puts on a master class in guitar sonics, unleashing a torrent of fuzz-drenched strings stabs, bends and scrapes.” Premier Guitar, Jan. 2023: “The post-punk 6-string hero takes a deep dive into sonic surrealism with his new album, a loop-driven collection of riveting soundscapes.” He is also a visual artist, and, on keyboards, tours nationally and internationally in The Anvil Orchestra accompanying silent film.
