Geoff Miller, son of Placerville favorite Hank Falconer, has become one of Northern California’s most exciting and up-and-coming country and western music performers.

Miller and his group, the Geoff Miller Band, is appearing at Findleton Estate Winery, 3500 Carson Road in Camino, from 3 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 9.

Miller follows in the musical traditions of such artists as Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Webb Pierce, Buck Owens, Johnny Cash and Hank Williams, to name a few, and brings new life and energy to a classic American sound.

Channeling the vocal stylings of Haggard, Johnny Paycheck and Dwight Yoakum, as well as the guitar styles of Marty Stuart, Pete Anderson, Don Rich and James Burton, Miller serves as a true double threat front man.

Miller is supported by Matt Dudman on stand-up acoustic bass and backing vocals, Ray Elzy on pedal steel guitar, and Brad Cross on the drums.

Miller is a regular performer at Sacramento area venues such as Old Ironsides, Torch Club and The Distillery and has performed at such regional events as the Midnight Mass Car Show in Sacramento, Sacramento Swing Time Car Show and Music Festival, Scarlett Fever (DNA Lounge, San Francisco), Roseville Tuesday Night Market, Yolo Throwdown in Woodland, Auburn Pro Rodeo, Rancho Visitadores in Santa Ynez, Placerville Wagon Train Stampede, and the Grand National Rodeo at the Cow Palace in Daly City.

Along the way, Miller has shared marquees and stages with artists including Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys, The Blasters, Deke Dickerson, Wayne Hancock, The Chop Tops and his father, Hank Falconer.

Enjoy a cool time listening to music, sipping some wine and dancing under the pines at this free concert. Bring a picnic.

    Who is Geoff's mother? Why is his name "miller", not "Falconer" if Hank is his father. And, is he related to the singer/actress Deborah Falconer?
