BISCUIT MILLER & THE MIX

Born into blues at the age of 11 on the south side of Chicago, Biscuit Miller has played on his own in groups formed with childhood friends, and with stellar blues musicians such as Lonnie Brooks, Mojo Buford, formerly with Muddy Waters, and with Lady Blue, a backup vocalist for Ike and Tina Turner. Biscuit's brand of blues always has the crowd on their feet, grooving to a mix of funk and blues.
