Leah Miller + Art Motel

Leah Miller has been a prominent part of the Columbus music scene since the late ’90s, beginning with her 1997 EP, Meager Beginnings. She went on to collaborate with Michael Strait on his solo debut album, Roses, and perform regionally before forming the acoustic duo Strictly Instinct with Theresa Caldwell and later the original band Dream Merchant with Joel Mathers, whose 2002 album, Anything You Want, helped establish them in the regional scene. After stepping away from performing in 2010 to focus on motherhood, Leah returned to the stage in 2023 to honor the legacy of her friend and mentor, guitarist Kim Crawford. Inspired by those performances, she returned to her solo roots and released her EP, 2nd Season, in early 2026, marking a new chapter in her enduring musical journey. Leah's rhythmic guitar and powerful vocals will take you on an acoustic journey with her indie originals and cover songs, filled raw energy and emotion.

Leah is joined by Art Motel, a Rock, Rhythm & Blue-Folk band based out of Central and South-Eastern Ohio. Their four-song, self-titled Art Motel EP is on Bandcamp and their Music Video - "When I'm Gone" is on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Officially formed on January 1, 2026. The four, core members are lifelong troubadourian musicians, peers, and friends who explore all kinds of music as long as it’s got soul. Independently, each member performs solo or in other projects. Thus, Art Motel sometimes arrives as a duo, trio, or quartet.
