<p>Tonight is the night! iMusicScene is proud to announce an evening with Keith Miller.
We will be featuring the songs off of Keith's new CD, Over the Abyss. The show
will start at 9:00PM EST so please tune in to <a href="http://imusicscene.com:8010/listen.pls">iMS Radio</a> and join us in
the <a href="http://www.imusicscene.com/chat/">Chat Room!</a> To keep the chat secure, we do require an iMS Account. Signing up is FREE and you can sign up as an <a href="http://www.imusicscene.com/signup.php?mode=signup&amp;quota_id=4">Artist</a> or as a <a href="http://www.imusicscene.com/signup.php?mode=signup&amp;quota_id=-1">Listener</a>. This is some mind blowing guitar work everyone. Keith is endorsed by some major companies and has played NAMM. That in itself is an accomplishment considering the caliber of players at that event!</p>
<p>From Keith's Bio -
<br />Born with a love for music, Keith Miller started playing the viola, and then the violin in grade school at the age of 9. Keith dreamed of playing the guitar and his parents agreed that if he learned violin that they would get him a guitar. Keith worked hard and got a 6-string acoustic guitar for Christmas when he was 12. He then taught himself to play by learning chords from a chord book.<br /><br />Keith advanced to writing his own songs and formed his first real band, &ldquo;The Patriots&rdquo;, in the 6th grade. The &ldquo;Patriots&rdquo; evolved into &ldquo;Faith&rdquo; a very good and promising band that Keith continued to play in until after high school when the band broke up. Keith continued playing violin though Junior High and sang in the choir in Junior High and High school.<br /><br />In 1990 Keith Miller enrolled in Musictech College of Music in Minneapolis. Always desiring to be more proficient as a guitar player and a better musician, Keith strived to master the guitar and music theory. After graduating from Musictech College of Music, Keith has kept himself busy with music by playing in bands, as well as doing recording/studio work. &ldquo;PLEX&rsquo;D&rdquo; one of Keith&rsquo;s most noted bands, received rave reviews in national magazines as well as some label interest. Keith also worked with the distinguished producer, Ira Ferguson. While Keith still plays with &ldquo;PLEX&rsquo;D&rdquo; and has plans for future side projects, his main focus now is that of a solo artist. With that, he has released two successful albums, &ldquo;Groove Train.&rdquo; and "CHALK". Both CD's have been receiving great reviews and have charted in the top 10 most popular and best selling Instrumental Metal CD's on both Guitar Nine Records and CD Baby. "CHALK" was also picked at #4 for Best Instrumental Release of 2004 by &copy;QUINTESSENCE METAL</p>
<p>Hope to see you there!
<br /> Additionally, I took the liberty of uploading a 30 second clip of one of Keith's new songs.

<br /> The iMS Crew!</p>

<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #00ccff; font-size: medium;">Well, folks. I want to first thank all of you, who joined the show this last Saturday. We finally got the show off and running at about 22:20 and I am so thrilled that you all hung in there like you did. I still managed to broadcast an ALMOST 4 hour show, believe it or not! <br /><br />It was worth it, wasn't it? The first segment of "iMS Radio Center Stage Presentation", featuring the Easton Brothers was just simply amazing! <br /><br />For that reason alone you should listen to the re-broadcast of the show, if you missed it! So a BIG thanks to Mark and Barry Easton and their FANTASTIC music!<br /><br />Check the Blogs and the Forums for an announcement about our next "iMS Radio Center Stage Presentation". I just know that you will be thrilled about the next artist as well!<br /><br />Here are the re-broadcast links:<br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">June <br />7, 2008 Saturday Night Rocks, featuring The Easton Brothers - Hi-Fi<br /><br />June <br />7, 2008 Saturday Night Rocks, featuring The Easton Brothers - Lo-Fi<br /><br />Previous shows:<br /><br />May 31, 2008 <br />Saturday Night Rocks - Hi-Fi<br /><br />May <br />31, 2008 Saturday Night Rocks - Lo-Fi<br /><br />May 24, 2008 <br />Saturday Night Rocks - Hi-Fi<br /><br />May 24, <br />2008 Saturday Night Rocks - Lo-Fi<br /></span><br />See you next time!<br /><br />Musically Yours,<br />Mike</span></p>

<p>Ladies and Gentlemen, I know some of you were slightly disapointed last week when i had to do an Auto Show due to moving in to a new house, but greatly relieved when Stef took over an hour into the show... well.. This week I am BACK but this is pretty much the first chance I have had to get on a computer in over a week and its almost show time, so I haven't got that interview with Mark C sorted yet.. however as soon as I get net and computer in the new place I will be back up to speed and being able to entertain you as usual.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This week the show plan is all over the piece, i just want to have a good time, listen to some great tunes, and bring you a couple of &amp;quot;exciting&amp;quot; news revelations from the last week... hopefully some of you will be there to enjoy the tunes with me, or maybe even send me some of your new ones.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong><em>Apocalypse&nbsp; is the opening for my new CD i am working on, What would the end of this world and time sound like ,Would it could it sound like this as the forces of good and evil battle </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Apocalypse - End Of Time - &nbsp;Orchestrated insturmental rock</em></strong></p>

<p>It's taken three months, but I've put together a video for my song 'Call of the Wild' - it's on my page and at YouTube here:</p>
<p><a href=&quotCall of the Wild (Oakley/Carter/Millard); target="_blank"><span style="font-size: xx-small; color: #006699;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"&gtCall of the Wild (Oakley/Carter/Millard) style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span></p>
<p>The lyrics were written as a poem by my father-in-law, after seeing a documentary where they said that tigers could be extinct in the wild in two years. I wrote the music and Dave Millard added the amazing vocals. The download is for sale on my website (<a href="http://www.paul-oakley.com">www.paul-oakley.com</a&gt and ALL the profits are going to wildlife charities - full details are on the website.</p>
<p>We're also selling CDs of the song&nbsp;- please contact me if you want one, although be warned, the postage to the US isn't cheap...</p>
