Nothing Beats Those BayStreet Blues
Playing Music and Giving Back NOTHING BEATS THOSE BAYSTREET BLUES
John Miller started playing the piano at age 5.As a teen, he graduated to every parent’s favorite instrument, the drums. In 1973, he formed his first band. In 1987, all of that musical experience came together with the formation of the Bay Street Blues Club, now known simply as BayStreet. So, how does a musician become a lawyer , or a lawyer become a musician? It’s all about balance and dedication — balancing family, balancing work, and working with a bunch of experienced and well-educated musicians. “We’re fortunate to have three fantastic soloists,” John says,“and a member who plays in symphonies.” But it goes far
beyond the talent. It’s about the love of the music.When you’ve been a band for 30 years and the love for the music continues to burn strong, you know you’re a part of something great. Over the years, BayStreet has opened for an impressive array of artists, from B.B. King and Styx toThree Dog Night andWaylon Jennings. They even had an opportunity to work with the late, great Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bill Pinkney of The Drifters. Pinkney called BayStreet the best band he’d ever worked with. While the band is inspired by many of the blues legends and the rockers of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, they love to see
where the music takes them.“There’s a lot of improvisation,” John says.
And the fans love it.They keep coming back for more, whether it’s at a concert or a charity event. In fact, this summer, John and the band helped raise money for a local school lunch program . If BayStreet can find a way to give back, chances are, they’ll take it.
