(Mark Miller is) One of Americana’s most literate writers, deft pickers, and criminally under recognized artists” Jim Hynes, Making A Scene Magazine.

For more than 20 years, Georgia based singer, songwriter, guitarist, Mark Miller, has been performing for sold out audiences at listening rooms, wineries, theaters, and festivals up and down the East Coast.

Americana Highways declared his 2022 recording, “Standing on Shoulders”, as “one of the years best Americana albums…..if you are looking for original songs, I give you Mark Miller’s “Standing on Shoulders””. The same album was hailed by Roots Magazine as one of the 10 best roots albums of 2022.

“This Bridge”, Mark’s latest 9 song collection was released May 2025. John Apice writes, “(Miller) flourishes in topics that aren’t often posed by singer-songwriters…exceptional in lyrics and melodic texture”.

Mark’s songwriting draws from a deep well of experiences growing up both in rural East Tennessee and Middle Georgia. Being born to musician parents, his childhood home was filled with the playing and singing of hymns, folk songs, and Gospel songs.

In April 2026 Mark is re-releasing the EP, “Psalms and Prayers”, a collection of 5 songs written and recorded 25 years ago. He has also released two albums of acoustic hymns, “All for Love’s Sake” and Grace Upon Grace”. In 2010, he released the critically acclaimed “Ain’t It Grand, The Gospel Songs of Blind Willie McTell”
