John Miller and his Country Casuals
Grace Under Fire
Honky Tonk hero John Miller and his Country Casuals are returning to What's Cookin'. One of the great country singers these Islands have produced Mr Miller began his musical journey in the 1990s fronting Glasgow alternative Country Rock outfit Radio Sweethearts. Having released many recordings his latest long player “Losers Hall Of Fame” (Folk’n’Western Recording Co.) was released in 2024 to much acclaim. Appearing with John on stage will be regular Country Casuals Martin Barrett on electric guitar and Sy McBain on double bass. Scotland's Best Kept Secret...don’t miss them!
John Miller’s a traditional country singer; there’s no gimmicks and no newfangled twists. If he can be dubbed alternative these days it’s because he cleaves to the verities, sure in the power and emotion of his own voice...
Consequently he’s the purest country singer practising his art on these islands, and the finest NICK WEST BUCKETFULL OF BRAINS
Grace Under Fire are a rootin' tootin' cowpunk outfit from London, comprising Aisha Khan on vocals and Mal Barclay on guitar with a whole host of different musical friends. Think of a feminist Johnny Cash, with nods to Wanda Jackson, Buddy Holly and Eddie Noack. Vintage country and rockabilly reinvented for the modern world, with catchy melodies, powerful grooves and raw, honest lyrics.
