The Neon Moons are not your grandfather’s country band. Since forming loosely in 2018, they’ve helped ignite a honky tonk dance scene across the region. Their sound fuses ’90s country songwriting with jam-band improvisation and groove-forward arrangements — think Hank Williams meets Phish. Their shows are sweaty, celebratory, and built for movement.

Miller, the band’s lead singer and songwriter, grew up outside San Diego in a town “twenty minutes inland where it’s full-on cowboy country.” Rodeos, two-stepping, and his mother’s shared birthday with Willie Nelson were early influences. After moving to New York to work on a farm, Miller stumbled into music almost by accident.

“I started doing honky tonk nights just because nobody else was doing it, and I really wanted to dance,” he said…“There’s no wrong way to move to a song,” Miller said. “Just do it.”
