Gabriel Miller-Phillips grew up just outside Boston, where he fell in love with music by listening to his parents' old folk records and an after-hours blues show on public radio. He left New England to attend college in New York and he tried to keep his mind on his schoolwork, not his guitar. As he puts it, "I thought I should ignore music, but I was miserable." Then life took a strange turn: he was diagnosed with a congenital bone disorder that required major operations on both legs. Post-surgery, Gabriel returned to Boston to recuperate. He couldn't walk, drive, or go to school, but he could write music.
Convalescence made Gabriel realize that he was happier bed-ridden and writing music than compromising his passion in pursuit of stability. He spent the next two years recovering from surgery and holed up in a basement apartment on loan from an acquaintance, with little company except his guitar. He stayed there, writing and practicing until he was physically able to return to college to complete his degree. Gabriel recorded an EP entitled Shoot the Moon in the summer of 2006, embarked on the Get Going tour with Alina Simone in the Winter of '07 and toured the southern USA in the spring of '08. He is currently working on a full-length album.
