Free Concert at Chapman this Sunday...
Mark Miller has performed throughout the Upstate at various venues, but has worked with numerous artists worldwide as a producer. He has either received training from or worked alongside notable members of the music industry like producer Michael Wagener, guitarist Gary Pihl, and musician Norbert Putnam. In 1998, Miller's soundtrack composition was featured in "Redemption," a film screened at the '99 Sundance Film Festival. Other works have been produced for radio and television. Currently, he is a guest DJ of radio shows for Charlotte Indie Radio, in addition to managing Wheresville Records, a sound studio he founded in '97 to re-release his first album titled "Seasons of Ice."
He hasn't just brought his own music to the scene, Miller has been orchestrating local benefit concerts since 1992. He's raised funds for an array of different causes and has been a huge help to many organizations and individuals for quite some time. Miller was the driving force behind Chapman's Music Mosaic concert back in the summer. The concert put several local, upcoming talents on stage to debut their singer-songwriter style. On Saturday, Nov. 9, hear Miller play at the Hub City Empty Bowls Soup Day charity event. Of course, if you can't wait, stop by Zimmerli Plaza at Chapman this Sunday, Oct. 20 for a free taste of his musical skill, 2-4 p.m.
