Steve Miller Band

Miller is one of the most inconspicuous rock stars in history. He loves making and performing music, but hates doing promotion or appearing in public anywhere offstage. He became one of the top acts of the '70s, but most listeners didn't know anything about him, including what he looked like.

Miller was born in Milwaukee and raised in Dallas. In 1966 he moved to San Francisco and formed The Steve Miller Blues Band, which was shortened to The Steve Miller Band when they signed with Capitol Records the next year.

He's a huge fan of blues music. When music went digital, he hired college kids to transfer his blues albums onto a hard drive, and ended up with 6000 tracks. John Lee Hooker is one of his favorites.
