Donovan Miller

Imagine a cross between Bare Naked Ladies, the Grateful Dead, and Omaha pop singer Matthew Sweet and you'll have a reasonable idea of what Donovan Miller sounds like. The site claims the three MP3 tracks offered for download are unfinished, but they sound polished to my ears. Like much of the music rooted in Midwestern folk music, Miller's songs are rich with stories of life, love and loss. Hailing from San Francisco, by way of Iowa, Donovan Miller has crafted songs across a variety of genres, in addition to composing songs for a number of media outlets. I'm not sure whether the EP tied to these tracks is still in progress or available for purchase; either way, Donovan Miller tells a new story with each track.
