Marilyn Miller

Singer-songwriter Marilyn Miller was known for leading Open Jams at venues in Hudson for many years.  These days, she plays most often with guitarist Rick Warren as Rick and Marilyn. You may also see her performing solo, with the loosely organized Hudson Busk in the Hudson streets, and with singer/songwriter Betsi Krisniski. Her strengths lie in her powerful voice, paired with a driving acoustic rhythm guitar and melodic arrangements of her own tunes and the covers she loves.

MARILYN MILLER
(long bio)

A fixture on the local music scene, Marilyn Miller was born in Hudson, NY and grew up in nearby Germantown. She is the granddaughter of Harrison Miller, a popular local fiddler and entertainer. 

Neil Young is likely the biggest influence on her music, songwriting and guitar playing. Although life intervened and kept her busy raising children and going to school in her younger years, her desire to keep learning and performing led her to guitar teacher David Hodge in the Berkshire Mountains. Step by step, Marilyn continued to grow into songwriting, performing and recording her own songs.

Marilyn is a big believer in continuing to learn and grow by attending workshops and seminars by notable songwriters and performers such as Steve Earle, Richard Thompson, and Sloan Wainwright. An enthusiastic 'Rustie', she has traveled the world with this group of Neil Young fans, singing and playing in dozens of international cities (while attending over 150 of Neil's shows!)

These days, her influences tend towards James McMurtry, Todd Snider, Lukas Nelson, John Prine, and her friend and fellow musician Betsi Krisniski, who is her sometime partner and 'busking sister' in the loosely organized group of street players known as 'HUDSON BUSK'.

Her current project is 'Rick and Marilyn', an electro-acoustic duo with guitar slinger Rick Warren. They appear at many events such as the Blueberry Festival, Rhinebeck PorchFest, Hudson Music Fest, Lighthouse Fundraiser, Greene County Arts Picnic and numerous farmer's markets, clubs, bars, festivals, and other venues.  She is known among other musicians for hosting jams and song circles and is always on the scene for social justice and progressive political events with her guitar.

Marilyn Miller truly embodies the spirit of bringing 'Music to the People' in a grassroots way, and by doing so brings the 'People to the Music'.
