Adam Miller is one of the premier autoharpists in the world and a natural-born folksinger and storyteller. His highly entertaining performances at festivals and concert halls across the United States have won him fans of all ages. A masterful entertainer who never fails to get his audience singing along, he has distinguished himself as one of the great interpreters of American folktales and folksongs.

As a boy growing up a few blocks from historic Cannery Row, on California's Monterey Bay, he began his lifelong pursuit of collecting songs. His repertoire now includes over 5,000 traditional and contemporary folksongs. Some of these are so obscure that Miller is one of the few performers who still sings them. Miller says, "Since I was a kid, I have always had a great interest in how folksongs travel through history, and how history travels through folksongs."

When he was 11, Miller saw folksinger Sam Hinton perform at the grange hall in Big Sur, California. He credits Hinton as his greatest inspiration and his mentor, though his influences also include Gordon Bok, Archie Fisher, Lee Hays, Cisco Houston, Utah Phillips, Rosalie Sorrels, Gamble Rogers, Pete Seeger, Faith Petric, and Art Thieme.

Miller is a familiar face to hundreds of thousands of parents and children who have attended his acclaimed, "Singing Through History" folk music programs. A nationally recognized presenter of folklore and folk music programs, Miller has been a featured performer, master of ceremonies, and workshop leader at many American folk festivals. He is a captivating storyteller and gifted instrumentalist, and is recognized for his ability to interpret traditional American folksongs with warmth, humor, and remarkable scholarship.

Folksinger Frank Hamilton is a fan of Miller's work. "You are doing a real service for folk music," says Hamilton. George Winston calls Miller, "One of the great autoharpists and folksingers of our times." The San Francisco folknik describes Miller's autoharp playing as, "...superb and imaginative." Maine Public Radio has called him, "...a master of the autoharp."

The late Sam Hinton said of Miller, "Since I've stopped performing, I've thought more and more highly of you and your work, and feel that any traditions I may have followed are in good hands.”

Miller performs nearly 300 concerts a year at folk festivals, coffeehouses, schools, public libraries, and museums, from the Everglades to the Arctic Circle. He accompanies his baritone voice with lively fingerpicking acoustic guitar, and stunningly beautiful autoharps, using only his fingernails for picks. His custom-built autoharps are manufactured by Fladmark Woodworks and Orthey Instruments.

Miller has recorded four CDs that receive airplay across North America and Europe: "Bare Fingers - The Solo Autoharp Artistry of Adam Miller," "The Orphan Train and other Reminiscences," "Wild Birds," and " Along Came a Giant - Traditional American Folk Songs for Young People.”
