Dallas native Rhett Miller has joined the ever-growing list of artists now streaming live concerts for their fans. For many musicians, sharing their talents through virtual concerts is not only a way to provide entertainment, but also an opportunity to spread positivity during this strange and difficult time. Miller, frontman for the Old 97’s and accomplished solo artist, is taking his tunes to web-based performance venue Stageit. And thanks to the mobile-friendly nature of the platform, you can sit back and enjoy his show from the comfort of home.



Miller’s next jam session is tonight at 8PM CST, followed by another concert this Friday, March 27, at 8PM CST, and more shows planned for the coming weeks. While all Miller’s shows are “pay what you can,” tickets are required, so be sure to buy yours online to reserve a (virtual) front-row seat. While you’re at it, browse Stageit’s concert calendar to see if any other performances might pique your interest. Be on the lookout for more updates on Miller and his career in the April issue of Modern Luxury Dallas.
