Miller is an original member of Mount Moriah along with McEntire,the lead <br /> vocalist and guitarist. McEntire and Miller have been friends and band mates for years and were later <br /> joined by Casey Toll (bass, keys) six years ago. More recently, about six months ago, Daniel Faust joined <br /> as a drummer.They performed two songs for us: "Baby Blue" and "Calvander,"which are off their <br /> newest album, How To Dance.The album was released on February 26, and the band will tour the <br /> country from March 11 to April 27. <br />
