About

MARCUS MILLER IN CONCERT:


Bass guitar legend Marcus Miller has lent his fast-fingered session skills to everyone from Miles Davis to Michael Jackson, but lately it's his solo work that's been bringing the heat. Taking the stage with an unparalleled group of jazz musicians, Miller holds down the groove for the duration of his marathon sets, soloing in turn with his bandmates at shows that often top two hours. Just to give you an idea of how committed these guys are, their encores often extend for up to 45 minutes — a perk fans can expect as the band hits the road for their 2014 tour.


BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:


Brooklyn-born Marcus Miller was raised by a musical family that included his church organist father and jazz pianist cousin. By 13, he had mastered multiple instruments and begun penning his own tunes, becoming a sought-after session musician just a few years later. As a session player, he worked with a veritable laundry list of legendary artists, including Herbie Hancock, Mariah Carey, and Frank Sinatra, concurrently playing bass for Luther Vandross between 1981-2007. He formed his own band in the early '80s, making his solo debut with 1983's funk-inspired Suddenly and releasing a score of albums over the ensuing decades. Ever the multi-talent, Miller also acted as a producer on numerous Grammy-winning recordings for artists including Chaka Khan, David Sanborn, and Miles Davis. Back on the road in 2014, Miller and co. are sharper than ever, setting high expectations for their upcoming tour dates.


FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:


"Funky and tight, Marcus' band tore through 2 sets that had everyone in the audience smilin', clappin', and rockin' in their seats."


"Marcus Miller and his band were awesome! The drummer, keyboardist, horn section, and guitar all were amazing. Loved the solos."


"Great show and a great band accompanying him. A three hour show, even the encore was 45 minutes. Not a disappointing minute from beginning to end."

    Ridiculously talented musical virtuoso

    by Hvygforce on 8/10/23

    Marcus Miller and his fabulous band wowed the crowd in Philadelphia, PA last weekend for 2 solid hours. It was my first time catching him perform live but I pray it won't be my last.

    Marcus, Miller at Rivers Casino

    by Queen-M on 8/8/23

    First and foremost, we are Marcus Miller fans we have seen him more times than we can count all different places, cities, etc. But for some reason we just felt like this show was just over the top. Marcus is a genius. He’s awesome but this time I don’t know if it was the way he went into the funk thing & the audience got a chance to chime in. Or whatever it was just exceptional for us this time. Awesome show, just awesome!!!

    Thé performance was excellent. Marcus Miller and his band played many favorite tunes as well as new ones. The venue seats were spaced a bit too tight but that did not from the performance.

    Exactly what I expected

    by Mr.T on 8/8/23

    Marcus Miller perform flawlessly if he made any mistakes I could not catch them, pretty big sound for five piece band, the sound in the auditorium was excellent, I was seated near the back and could see the whole band, and the chairs was very comfortable. As to the host Rivers casino great job

    Great show!

    by Mike on 8/8/23

    Marcus was amazing of course. And as you'd expect he was accompanied by extremely talented musicians. Just a great, great show! If you get the chance to see him, I highly recommend it! My only negative was that the venue, Rivers Casino, had the seating just a bit too tight. You couldn't sit against the backrest without being pressed on either side by other people. Just a little bit of personal space would have been nice.
