Singer/songwriter Anthony Miller, aka
AM, grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma and in the suburbs of New Orleans before he began writing songs in college. He relocated to Los Angeles, and after he played the South by Southwest Festival, Defend Music took interest and added him to their roster. In July 2006 the label released Troubled Times, a reissue of
AM's eponymous debut CD from the previous year; the album includes tracks that made their way into several films and network and cable television shows.
AM has shared the stage with
Rhett Miller,
G. Love & Special Sauce,
Bob Mould, and
Glenn Tilbrook. In 2010, he released his third full-length studio effort, Future Sons & Daughters. In 2011,
AM collaborated with multi-instrumentalist
Shawn Lee for the album
Celestial Electric. In 2013,
AM & Shawn Lee returned with their second duo recording, the '80s electronic music-influenced
La Musique Numerique. ~ Kenyon Hopkin
