Rhett Miller (from Old 97s) Returns to Feel the Barn!

Texas native Rhett Miller is perhaps best known as the frontman of the Dallas-based alt-country band the Old 97’s, although he has also pursued a critically acclaimed solo career. Formed in 1993, the Old 97’s built a devoted following with their brash blend of country and power pop influences. Old 97s front man, Rhett Miller, doesn't fit into a mold, nor does his music. A native of Austin, Texas, he got his start with the Old 97's in Dallas, and they've since released 12 studio albums. Powered by Miller's distinct voice combined with clever yet vulnerable lyrics, they were pegged alt-country in the '90s and stood at the forefront of that movement, touring incessantly and gaining popularity with songs like "Barrier Reef" and the fan favorite "Timebomb."

Regarding his dual career as a band member and solo artist, he said, "I get to have the best of both worlds, I get to be in a rock band that plays in front of big crowds every once in a while, and I also get to play as a solo artist where the crowd can be hundreds of people but it still becomes this intimate moment where you can tell a story and sing a song."
