context_page_description: Clint Miller is an American musician and writer.
context_section_description: Miller released Ballad of a Modern Day Cowboy: a Tragedy in Three Acts through his own independent label in 2006. In the United Kingdom, music critic Del Day noted, “There are few braver and indeed industrious records than this being released these days... given that there are elements of country, blues, soul, jazz and bluegrass here and that Miller plays no less than fourteen instruments overall.” American historian, reporter, and music critic Joe Tennis described Miller’s vocal work as “a perfect vehicle for these 21 tales of woe on the road.”  In the Netherlands, music critic Wim Bolujt wrote, “Hoe origineel en goed gespeeld ook…” (“How original and well played too…”). Appalachian music critic Mike Clark wrote, “He’s one heck of a musician as well, playing almost every instrument heard on Ballad of a Modern Day Cowboy… Miller is one of those once-in-a-lifetime writer/performers.” 
  After releasing the album, Miller was accepted into Harvard College, and in 2009 he was honored with an Artist Development Fellowship awarded by the Office of the Arts. With equipment he acquired through this Fellowship, Miller explored new avenues for music production and also began creating customized monaural and binaural beats.
  Miller worked to popularize blues, ragtime, and bluegrass at Harvard, spreading awareness through festivals like Arts First and Cultural Rhythms  while also being selected to speak and perform at the Harvard Bluegrass Symposium. Scott Lozier, at the Harvard Arts Blog, wrote "I think they should start casting the Grammy statues for Clint. What a musician."
