Jay William Miller is an Americana singer-songwriter whose music blends the grit of small-town Idaho with the heart of rock and roll. Born and raised in Boise, Jay picked up a guitar at sixteen and started writing songs shaped by mountains, rivers, and the kind of nights that turn into stories. His sound lives somewhere between heartbreak and high energy—a mix that’s earned him and his band the fitting description, “sad boys that like to party.”

Drawing inspiration from artists like Nathaniel Rateliff, Noah Gundersen, and Willie Nelson, Jay’s songs balance introspection with the unfiltered spirit of the American West. His latest release, Reservoir, dives into the mess of emotion and the moments that keep us human—backed by a band that’s just as ready to rip as they are to feel.

Whether he’s on stage in a packed bar or under open Idaho skies, Jay brings a dynamic performance that’s equal parts rowdy and raw. Follow his journey and keep up with new releases and tour dates on Instagram @therealjaymiller.
