Adam Miller is one of the premier autoharpists in the world and a natural-born American folksinger and storyteller. He is renowned for his extensive repertoire of over 2,500 traditional and contemporary folksongs. His highly entertaining performances at festivals and concert halls across the United States have won him fans of all ages. A masterful entertainer who never fails to get his audience singing along, he has distinguished himself as one of the great interpreters of American folktales and folksongs.
A native of Northern California, Adam grew up a few blocks from historic Cannery Row on the Monterey Bay. As a child he listened to the recordings of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Oscar Brand, Cisco Houston, Marias and Miranda, and the Weavers. When he was eleven years old, his parents took him to hear folksinger Sam Hinton perform at the Grange Hall in Big Sur. He credits Hinton as his mentor and his greatest inspiration.
Adam is a familiar face to hundreds of thousands of parents and children who have attended his acclaimed “Singing Through History” folk music programs. These programs aid in the development of cultural and historical literacy, emphasizing the importance of history as a story well told.
A nationally recognized presenter of folklore and folk music programs, Adam has been a featured performer, master of ceremonies and workshop leader at many American folk festivals. He is a captivating storyteller and gifted instrumentalist, and is recognized for his ability to interpret traditional American folksongs with warmth, humor and remarkable scholarship.
He performs about 300 concerts a year at folk festivals, theaters, schools, libraries, museums, hospitals and senior centers all over the 50 United States.
He accompanies his baritone voice with lively fingerpicking acoustic guitar, and stunningly beautiful diatonic and chromatic autoharp, using only his fingernails for picks. (His custom-built autoharps are manufactured by Fladmark Woodworks, Orthey Instruments and the Oscar Schmidt Company.)
Adam has recorded three CDs of American folksongs, The Orphan Train and Other Reminiscences, Wild Birds and Along Came a Giant – Traditional American Folk Songs for Young Folks. His albums receive airplay all over North America and Europe.
Pianist and composer George Winston has called him, “…one of the great autoharpists and folksingers of our times.”
