Brian Miller hails from Bemidji, in northern Minnesota. He developed a deep connection to Irish music early in life and has become known as a singer, guitarist, and bouzouki player dedicated to reviving traditional songs from the Great Lakes region—especially ballads once sung in lumber camps, aboard ships, and along the railroads.

Brian has performed with several notable groups, including Bua, Two Tap Trio, Chulrua, and the Máirtín de Cógáin Project. He is also an experienced educator and has taught for many years at institutions such as the Center for Irish Music in Minnesota.

His duo project The Lost Forty, with Randy Gosa, focuses on uncovering and performing Irish-influenced folk songs from the northern U.S., combining music with rich historical storytelling and cultural context.

Brian Millar is a musician based in St. Paul, Minnesota, known for his deeply rooted work in Irish traditional music. Originally from Bemidji, he fell in love with Irish sounds as a teenager at the Winnipeg Folk Festival and has since developed a rich career as a guitarist, bouzouki player, singer, and multi‐instrumentalist. 

He has played with bands such as Bua, The Two Tap Trio, and in recent projects like The Lost Forty (with Randy Gosa), bringing to light song traditions from the Great Lakes region and lumber camps. Miller also teaches Irish music, and his accompaniment style—especially on guitar and bouzouki—is admired for its intricacy, drive, and deep sense of tradition.

A concert of Danny Diamond (Fiddle) and Brian Millar (Guitar, Bouzouki) which was available only on Facebook until now.

Here's a bit of information which I had asked AI to write for me:

UCC TradSoc is University College Cork’s Traditional Music Society, bringing students together through Irish music, song, and dance. Open to all skill levels, they host weekly concerts, pub sessions, and workshops throughout the year. 

Their highlight event is TradFest, a lively annual festival featuring gigs, lectures, and session trails. The society also promotes Irish music globally, with performances in countries like Malaysia and South Africa. 

Whether you're a musician or just love the tunes, TradSoc offers a warm, welcoming space to celebrate Ireland’s living musical tradition.
