Ed Miller
Originally from Edinburgh Scotland, Ed Miller has been based in Austin for the 2nd half of his life. He is one of the finest singing products of the Scottish folk revival, having progressed from folk clubs and bars in Edinburgh to being in great demand throughout North America. At the University of Texas, he completed a PhD in Folklore in the 1980’s; but has since graduated to taking his songs, stories and droll humor to festivals, clubs, concerts, Highland Games and schools all over the country. When in Austin, he hosts the “Folkways” show on KUT-FM, a program that has become required listening for Central Texas folk music lovers. In recent years, he has expanded his activities into leading music-oriented tours of his native land; and he has also established a reputation as a fine teacher at events like the Swannanoa Gathering in N.C., Alasdair Fraser’s Valley of the Moon Fiddle Camp, and the Rocky Mountain Fiddle Camp.
