Southside
"Rhett Miller is the front man and main songwriter of the hard-charging rock ‘n’ roll quartet the Old 97’s, as well as an accomplished solo artist. In addition to his nine studio albums with the 97’s (most recently The Grand Theatre Volume One and The Grand Theatre Vol. 2 in 2011), he has released four solo albums; 1989’s Mythologies, 2002’s The Instigator, 2006’s The Believer, and 2009’s Rhett Miller. Miller is set to release his first live covers album, The Interpreter Live at Largo, on November 22, 2011 on his own recently established label Maximum Sunshine Records."
As previously mentioned, I am a huge fan of Rhett and his music. His new solo album "The Dreamer" is being released tomorrow and I want to thank him for taking a few minutes to participate in this edition of First/Last.

Least favorite concert?
I kind of like them all. As Woody Allen's character in the film Manhattan said about orgasms, "My worst one was right on the money."

Any thoughts, experiences about
Pittsburgh?
My drummer in the Serial Lady Killers, Angela Webster, hails from West Virginia, just outside Pittsburgh and whenever we come through town, her folks, Floyd and Stella come out to the show. I really dig Floyd and Stella. Heck, I really dig Pittsburgh.

Thanks, Rhett. Looking forward to the gig this week.
