Dave Miller has been playing music, performing, and writing songs for 5 decades. Dave joined his first band, The 49ers, in 1964 at the age of 14, and over time, Levon Helm, Merle Haggard, Delbert McClinton, Guy Clark, and John Prine all came to influence him.

He will be releasing his new album, Party in the Pines, via Howlin’ Dog Records, on January 23rd, 2026. Dave’s fifth full-length album project and the third an Howlin’ Dog Records, Dave once again “takes us on a tour of life’s adventures.”

The title track, “Party in the Pines”, details “a night to remember, gathering with friends and family to celebrate the joy of it all somewhere out in the woods,” and features Dave on banjo, co-Producer Don Richmond on various instruments, and Eric Lewis on acoustic guitar.

A video for “Nail Can” is out now, a “sepia-toned childhood remembrance of his father”. The track features the harmonica work of Lyn Jones and the harmony vocals of Abbye West-Pates. On the whole, Party in the Pines is a “journey through the ups and downs of love and life.”
