KALISPELL BLUES ROCK BAND WILL OPEN FOR INTERNATIONAL BLUES RECORDING LEGEND ROBIN TROWER IN SPOKANE MARCH 10, 2011

The Kenny James Miller Band has been chosen to peform prior to International Blues Legend Robin Trower at The Knitting Factory March 10, 2011 in Spokane Washington.  A dream will be realized that night by the guitar player of the band.

Kalispell, MT January 27, 2011 -  A Kalispell Blues Rock Band has been chosen to be the band to open for International Recording Artist and Blues Legend, Robin Trower.  This is a monumental achievement for one of the band members, fulfilling a life-long dream.  And can best be described below.

Imagine yourself as a musician who is inspired by one of the icons in the style of music you see yourself playing on a concert stage some day when you're good enough. 

For Ken Sederdahl, guitar player of Kenny James Miller Band,,it was Robin Trower, a man with style, personality and feeling when he played, noting the expressions that would surface on his face and body movements that made you believe you weren' t just hearing a master at this craft, you were experiencing his soul.  You would work at perfectly flying along the neck of your guitar during your riffs, then deliberately land on that perfect note and sustain it in perfect rhythm, and keep sustaining it, using your guitar effects and internal "feel" to add richness, flavor, buzz, pitch and punch that would differentiate you from the rest.  Jimi Hendricks said it best: "The blues are easy to play... but hard to "feel."

This is the kind of inspiration Robin Trower set on Ken Sederdahl as he practiced over the years.  Needless to say, Ken dreamed about playing "someday" on the same stage with Robin.... Well, that someday will be Thursday Night, March 10^th 2011.

The Kenny James Miller Band will be opening for Robin Trower at The Knitting Factory in Spokane, Washington.

Kenny James Miller Band opens for Robin Trower

                 Lively Times: Published: January 27, 2011

        Kalispell blues guitarist Ken Sederdahl has long

        been a fan of bluesman Robin Trower a man with

        style, personality and feeling when he played. As

        he practiced over the years, Sederdahl dreamed of

        someday playing on the same stage as Trower.

        That someday will be Thursday, March 10, when 

        the Kenny James Miller Band opens for Trower at

        the Knitting Factory in Spokane.

        According to Sederdahl, the famed British guitarist

        has long been his model for how to play the

        blues. I'd note the expressions that would surface

        on his face and body movements that made you

        believe you weren't just hearing a master at this

        craft, you were experiencing his soul.

        Trower, who first rose to fame in the 60s during a

        stint with Procol Harum, has inspired Sederdahl to

        work at perfectly flying along the neck of your

        guitar during your riffs, then land on that perfect

        note and sustain it in perfect rhythm, and keep

        sustaining it, using your guitar effects and internal

        'feel' to add richness, flavor, buzz, pitch and

        punch that would differentiate you from the rest.

        Sederdahl and his bandmates, drummer Mark

        Miller and bassist, will get an opportunity to show

        off those licks March 10 when they open for

        Trower. Tickets are $24; to order online, go to
