| Native Sounds: Derek Miller | |
 Derek Miller is a blues singer/songwriter from the Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation. He recorded his 2010 album with Stevie Ray Vaughn's band, Double Trouble. The album Derek Miller with Double Trouble also features a song he wrote and played in collaboration with American icon, Willie Nelson (Cherokee). Derek has been interested in music his entire life. He started performing when he was in high school. Derek's first performances helped him get over his fear of playing in front of large audiences. He said this opened up the floodgates for all the great performances that were to come, such as his performance at the 2010 Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony in Vancouver, to millions watching on television.
