  Scottie Miller: "Hello Pain" - Album Release with Orchestra

  7:00 PMZumbrota State Theatre

  Ticket Link - $40

  Scottie Miller in concert for his Southern Minnesota Album Release at The Zumbrota State Theater.  “Hello Pain” is a collaboration with arranger/orchestrator/violinist Cierra Alise Hill and The Budapest Scoring Orchestra. Rich with cinematic grandeur, Scottie will be performing the entire album with his band and a small orchestra led by Hill.

  Award-winning Minnesota-born pianist, singer-songwriter, and poet Scottie Miller blends cinematic songwriting with roots-driven soul, moving effortlessly from blues foundations into a fresh, indie-folk orchestral sound. A contributor to Ruthie Foster’s 2024 Grammy®-nominated album, Miller was named Artist of the Year by Bluebird Reviews and received a Blues Music Award for Blues Song Of The Year, affirming a career defined by fearless emotional storytelling. From his recent Carnival Cocoon poetry-music experiments to the sweeping orchestral world of his highly anticipated 2026 release Hello Pain, Scottie’s live performances are intimate, powerful, and transportive—an evening that feels less like a concert and more like stepping inside a living, breathing story.

  

  "Scottie Miller's new record is the highest peak of his career to date, a collection of extraordinary songs that perfectly frames the talent and the personality of Scottie Miller as an artist, as it does by displaying the vulnerability and the honesty of Miller as a human being at the same time.

  Moreover, Hello Pain is, in our personal opinion,  an ultimate statement of musical artistry at 360 degrees and one of the best records of any genre of the last 20 years of the Great American Songbook.” …read more
