Music education gets boost from Steve Miller

2010-09-07T17:58:59Z

The only think Steve Miller is committed to more than music is music education. He and his band give proof to that by planning a benefit concert for The Fender Center’s Kids Rock Free music education program.

Miller is a donor to and trustee of the organization that’s dedicated to provided free and low cost music classes to kids in more than 14,000 Southern California cities. The show, dubbed “Rock & Roll Formal,” will raise back up funds to fill funding gaps for the “Campaign 800″ program, which addresses the needs of 800 children already enrolled.

“In my opinion, this school is the best, self-sustaining, community music program in the country that focuses on teaching music by involving parents and children in a way that inspires and rewards,” Miller said. “I have donated substantially to the program because it works. If you care about music education you should come and see for yourself what can be done with a committed community.”

This “Space Cowboy” is certainly doing his part to launch the next generation of musical youth. Unfortunately, his concert is sold out, but if you want to help, look for music education programs in your area and support them however you can.

Steve Miller arranged a benefit concert for Norton Buffalo, a long-time member of the Steve Miller Band who passed away suddenly from Lung cancer during their summer 2009 tour.

The rocker brought together friends such as the Doobie Brothers, Bonnie Raitt, Charlie Musselwhite, George Throrogood and Huey Lewis for two concerts at Fox Theater in Oakland, Calif.

Buffalo was often introduced by Miller as “my partner in harmony” – they performed more than 5,000 shows together, and Steve Miller Band Tickets are always a hot commodity for summer concert goers.

The proceeds of the performance went to pay off Buffalo’s mortgage.

Steve Miller Band kicked off a massive summer tour last week in anticipation of an upcoming, still unnamed, album.

The outing kicked off in Canada on July 8th, and will head down the West Coast and through the Midwest states through the end of the month. In August, the classic rockers will head Eastward via the south, eventually making their way up the East Coast and finishing things off August 29th in Cohassett, Mass. A few shows have been tacked on in November, as well.

The group will unveil some new material from their upcoming album, which was recorded last spring at George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch. It has been said that this album leans further in the direction of blues and R&B. It’s expected to hit stores at some point this upcoming year.

Miller has created some of the biggest hits of the 1970’s, incliuding “The Joker,” “Rock’n Me,” Take the Money and Run,” “Fly Like an Eagle,” and “Jet Airliner.” He also left his mark on the 80’s with the hit “Abracadabra.”
