Music
Caleb Miles cut his musical teeth under the blazing sun of New Mexico's high desert, playing lead guitar in original rock'n'roll bands throughout the 1980s and early 90s. He joined The Illegal Aliens at the age of fifteen and continued his musical apprenticeship in bands such as Sundog, F.O.R., and A Murder Of Crows. Albuquerque at that time offered little reward for the aspiring musician, but it did foster hard-edged determination, strength of purpose, an outlaw sense of community, and an appreciation for sweaty bodies writhing in dance-induced ecstasy. Caleb's guitar sound is shaped by his desert days: sharp, clear, and dry like the sage-scented air. Lawless like the Old West.
Caleb spent some time as a journeyman, living in places as far-flung as Detroit, MI... Athens, GA... Lexington, KY... and performing in some legendary places (Austin, TX... CBGBs in NYC) as well as countless forgettable dives. In 1996 Caleb settled in Portland, Oregon, a city rich with musical opportunities. There he played guitar in a string of projects led by Lewi Longmire, and handled bass chores for Kentucky Snakehandlers, for whom he recorded and produced two cds. After archiving two cds of original songs culled from 12 years worth of material, he recorded DEPTH, a collection of spontaneous instrumental compositions.
In 2005 Caleb moved to Nova Scotia expecting to surrender to rural solitude and an early retirement from the stage. He found instead a rich and rocking community of musicians, songwriters, performers and listeners with whom to share his ongoing musical adventures. In 2006 he recorded BRICKYARD ROAD, a rootsy assemblage of spare parts and previously unfinished tunes that served as an introduction to his Maritime audience. In 2008 he released MEMORY WELL, featuring twelve new songs graced by contributions from several talented Annapolis Valley friends. In 2011 Caleb released STRANGE WEATHER, a one-man tour de force ranging from blues to funk to toe-tapping pop and back again. Caleb is currently performing solo as well as select gigs with the Hupman Brothers Band, and lending his production skills to cds by local artists Dayliner and Mark Bezanson. Caleb also hosts the Wednesday Music at The End Of The Line Pub in Bridgetown, with featured performers as well as an end of the month Open Mic and Jam.
