Can't Take it With You Can't Take it With You
I Love You (Acoustic) I Love You (Acoustic)
This recording is the newest version, from Jeff's second album, Something Different (available at CDBaby).
Scars Scars
One of the 'heavier' acoustic songs, lyrically speaking and stylistically speaking. I wouldn't be surprised if this one ends up being re-recorded in an electric setting sometime down the line.
Trying to be Cool Trying to be Cool
Title track from Jeff's debut, Trying to be Cool (available at CDBaby). A light look at the drama of high school relationships.
You Can't Fool Me (reprise) You Can't Fool Me (reprise)
A song about lack of trust in a relationship...with a searing double-tracked guitar solo.

Okay, so I'm not a band. Actually, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, I have turned into a "one-man band". On my debut album, Trying to be Cool, I performed all of the instruments except for drums. This includes bass, guitar, vocals, violin, keyboards, and more...
On my recently-released second album, Something Different, I played all of the instruments. This album, like my live show, showcases my use of a sampling machine, and was recorded live in the studio. You can pick it up at http://cdbaby.com/jeffmiller2Band/artist history
Jeff has been playing music for almost as long as he can remember. Starting with the violin at age 5, he has picked up many instruments and styles along the way. He concentrated mainly on violin and trombone, and classical and jazz music until his freshman year of high school. During the summer before his freshman year of high school, Jeff made the decision to sell all his video games and buy his first guitar. Soon after, the guitar became his primary instrument, and Jeff fell in love with songwriting. The seeds of songwriting were sown during Jeff's high school years, and he was active in many groups, ranging from jazz bands and string quartets to a rock trio.
The musical journey continued when Jeff started classes at Boston's Berklee College of Music. Here he dual-majored in Songwriting and Guitar Performance and studied with the likes of Pat Pattison and Jon Finn. Jeff's songwriting really began to develop and take form at Berklee. It was during these years that Jeff performed and recorded with artists such as Mike Schmid, Stacy Phillips, and Stephan Sharp.
Since completing his dual-major degree in Songwriting and Guitar Performance in 2001, Jeff has played countless venues in the northeast US, won local acoustic competitions, and even traveled to South Korea, to play in a tour of US Air Force bases with the Dave Pahanish Band.
Jeff has appeared on 7 different cds, and just released his second solo album, Something Different. He recently relocated to Nashville, TN, to pursue writing and performing opportunities.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes, I usually play anywhere I can get a gig (at least once), but primarily in coffeeshops, bookstores, and bars. My most memorable live playing experience is when I got the chance to play in South Korea as part of the Dave Pahanish Band, for a series of US Air Force shows on base.

Kinda strange because Jamey Darnold......... a few messages down is my brother. I too was skipping around on soundclick and happened upon you by chance!! When I saw his message I was shocked......small world I guess. Anyway, 'I love you' is marvelous!! The guitar and voice and lyrics all blend into a wonderful sound. Thank you for the song.
Hi Jeff
listening to 'Can't Take it With You' in the charts, it's a great melodic song and such a cool voice, very modern sound, well done !!!. We have a song called 'Your Life' it would be great if you have the time to check it out for a bit feedback. All the very best ..Tam & The Giants.
Great job Jeff, I skip through a lot of people untill I find someome I like. I stopped and listened and enjoyed.
Good Luck with your great music.
"I love you". Great inventive playing, lovely sentiment. Nice. I use layers when I play live too (Loop Station) and am working on my own play-every-instrument album . . . rock on! gw
Wow, "I love you" is an incredible song. Your a superb guitarist and a great singer. Your songwriting is beautiful, you have clever and fresh non clichéd lyrics. keep up the good work!
