* Audiences can expect " real no-frills music. It's honest down-and-dirty ,music that comes from the heart." Performing with Miller are bassist Stan Melasky and guitar wizard Kevin Bell. What more could anyone need? (NOW Magazine, Toronto)

* A balladeer whose haunting songs about ghost towns and chasing your dreams hit a chord with all adventurous souls in the audience. (St. John, N.B.)

* Songs of railroads, cowboys and hobos fill Miller's repertoire. With influences of Ramblin' Jack Elliott and Jerry Jeff Walker as well as his own life experiences to draw upon, Mikel tells tales of lifestyles that are swiftly disappearing from our cultural landscape. (Dawson City Music Festival, Dawson City, Yukon)

* His reputation preceded him into town, but part of my job is to report on the music around town. He walks on stage looking like he needs a meal (a little on the slim side of things), his hat looks like it went through a civil war and his choice of material assaulted me from the first chord. If your taste lies in raunchy cowboy stuff, then this artist should make the beer go down easy. As for me,. I'm going to stay home and read a book. (Kingston, Ontario)

* Traces of vagabonds, trains and highways run through Mikel's repertoire. In the tradition of Woody Guthrie and Ramblin' Jack Elliott his songs reflect the strength of character of the working man. (Whitehorse, Yukon)

* Tales of the road and the breed that live there make one want to go and see it for oneself. He makes us remember and by and large that's better than forgetting. (Regina, Saskatchewan)

* He's only here for three days, so wander down to the Pump and catch this singer while you can. He reminded me of the buffalo, there are a few left and a treat to behold! His song about getting up in 40 below and trying to kick-start his car had me in stitches, but, his sad songs are the best ones. From a used-to-be rambler to a man still doing it - Ramble On! (Kamloops, B.C.)

* This performer is often on the move. One of the few remaining travellin' gypsies. He has played in coffee houses and clubs form Montreal to Regina and from P.E.I. to here. Miller sings his own material as well as adapting to his own style the writings of such people as Townes Van Zandt and Jerry Jeff Walker. Catch him for the short time in which he is here. (Juneau, Alaska)
