Roger Miller is a Caldwell County musician with a deep repertoire of traditional and folk songs. You’ll hear many well known standards on his set list, but his passion is interpreting folk and traditional songs, particularly those of North Carolina origin. Along with the songs, an audience may also get the story behind the songs. Musical gems recovered from the depths of obscurity pepper his set list, as well as songs that we all know and can sing-along with.
