| With a combination of hard driving, traditional, bluegrass and family harmonies, the Miller family has been traveling the country as the Triple L Band, entertaining audiences since their debut performance at a local amateur country music show in 2000. That was the start of a really exciting career as a bluegrass band performing at bluegrass festivals, churches and many other venues. The band was named, to represent Lance, Landon and Levi Miller, sons of Len and Amy Miller. Lance, age 21, provides a solid, powerful acoustic guitar for the band. His versatile flatpicking abilities give the band the capability to do a greater variety of music. Lance has a great bluegrass voice that easily blends all the other vocals together for a great lead and harmony sound. Lance won his first guitar in 2004 at the Texas Best Flatpicking contest in Brownwood, TX. He is currently pursuing a degree in electronic engineering in college. Lance’s electronic interests and awesome ability to hear the music, wins him the job of sound technician for the band. Landon, age 19, is the banjo player for the Triple L. With an extraordinary ability to play the banjo he adds a tasteful motion to the hard driving sound of the Triple L‘s upbeat tempo, and adds a melodic background to the slower songs. Landon was one of the top 5 finalists at Winfield, KS in the National Banjo Picking Championship in 2006. He has an awesome baritone voice that is a major component of the triple L’s vocals. Levi age 17, is the mandolin player for the band. He got his start playing on stage, instead of in the practice room at the early age of seven. Having become an accomplished mandolin player, his mandolin playing is always changing, and he regularly surprises us with a spur of the moment, improvised instrumental break. He has a very strong voice and does a great job singing lead or tenor vocals on every song. He is the 2nd place winner of the Wildlife Bluegrass Park mandolin contest of June 2006. Amy, who does the promotional and booking work for the band, also provides a steady rhythm for the band as their stand up bass player. Her heartfelt song choice and family harmony blend, add a variety to the performing sound of the band. She keeps them in time and on time and is the boys’ greatest fan! Len started playing the same time the boys did. He first played banjo, then guitar……As the boys grew up and picked the instruments they wanted to play he shifted around accordingly, settling on the dobro. He has an aggressive approach to his dobro playing that fits perfectly with the up tempo style the band plays. He has a strong easy to listen to voice and a love for the music that keeps him singing. He sings lead or harmony that completes the family blend. If you enjoy seeing a family work harmoniously together to produce good music, you will like the Triple L! Their relaxed, professional stage presence, family values, down home honesty and humor, on and off stage, will make you glad you went to their show. As a band the awards they have won are: 2005 1st place in the Youth in Bluegrass Championship from Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO 2007 12th in the final round of the SPBGMA band contest competition in Nashville, TN 2007 2nd in the 33rd annual GMA Music in the Rockies national band contest 2008 2nd in the National Single Mic contest at Silverdollar City in Branson, MO |
