The Steve Miller Band, an American rock group founded in San Francisco in 1966, is the brainchild of its namesake, vocalist and guitarist Steve Miller. The band's music blends elements of blues, rock, and pop. Steve Miller's journey in music began in earnest after he moved to Chicago to immerse himself in the city's rich blues scene, before relocating to San Francisco, where he would become a key player in the psychedelic rock movement.

The band struck major commercial success in the mid-1970s with albums like "Fly Like an Eagle" and "Book of Dreams," producing timeless classics such as "The Joker," "Take the Money and Run," and "Rock'n Me." Steve Miller Band's sound, characterized by Miller's smooth vocal delivery and catchy guitar hooks, secured them a spot in the pantheon of classic rock acts, influencing generations to come. Their legacy continues with recent releases such as "Let Your Hair Down" and "Bingo!," and they maintain a connection to their roots with blues-infused works and tributes, like the live recording "PEPPA SAUCE," a homage to Jimi Hendrix. The band's enduring appeal is reflected through steady touring and the release of live performance records, such as "The Joker Live In Concert" and "Live! Breaking Ground August 3, 1977," showcasing their lasting prowess on stage and their ability to captivate audiences across decades.
