John R. Miller joins host Raina Douris
On John R. Miller’s new album, The Great Unknowing, he takes you out on the road with him as a long-time touring musician. But it’s also an exploration of quieter things, little moments and inner lives. Along with live performances, on the next World Cafe, John will share some stories from the road, and he’ll talk about recording The Great Unknowing at Leon Russell’s historic ‘Church Studio’ in Tulsa.
