PROJECT GRAND SLAM RETURNS — After a cataclysmic 16-month break that no one wanted, things seem to be getting back to normalcy … somewhat. For musician Robert Miller, who leads the exemplary jazz/fusion/Latin band Project Grand Slam, it meant an abrupt end to live gigs and a temporary end to recording together.
In just 5 years Miller and his band have released 10 albums including a Billboard #1 (Trippin’ in 2018); had over 4 million video views; over 1 million Spotify streams; more than 50,000 Facebook fans; performed at festivals and concerts around the world, and opened for Edgar Winter, Blues Traveler, Boney James and Mindi Abair, and an after-show for YES.
Miller however, didn’t let any grass grow, as he began to work on his first-ever solo album, Summer Of Love 2020, and his second, Miller Rocks which was released last month. Both records were warmly received and featured Miller’s first-ever vocals.
This Sunday at the SteelStacks stage in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Project Grand Slam re-unites. Says Miller of the forthcoming show: “It was uplifting and thrilling to be playing together again after 16 months (to the day!) from our last gig at My Father’s Place. By the second rehearsal we sounded as tight as ever. Some of the songs we had never played together before, as they were recorded remotely during the pandemic. So, we worked out arrangements for playing them live. Totally psyched for our first post-Covid concert this Sunday at SteelStacks (https://www.steelstacks.org/event/10677/project-grand-slam/) in Bethlehem, PA!”
Go get ‘em boys … and, welcome back!
