    Musical hunter-gatherer. Electrifying performer. Boundless bender of genres—folk music, classical, jazz, pop… you simply must hear him play. Midwest Records described Miles as “Chicago’s best-kept secret.” Michael joins us with banjo and guitar in hand, and stories to tell from decades of travel and collaborations, for an afternoon of musical splendor. The Chicago SunTimes said, “Give the banjo to Michael J. Miles and you’ll hear a mighty soul-stirring sound.” More at MilesMusic.org.
