Ray "Iron Man" Miller

Ray Miller is a universal bass player, singer, guitarist and songwriter originally from Montreal, Canada. Starting out in Montreal as a teenager, Ray went on to play with numerous bands in that Quebec area.  After relocating to Ontario, Ray toured with several local bands such as, Speakeasy, Illegal Limit Band, Smuggler’s Alley and BrainCase. It was in Ontario that Ray and some friends then formed Scribble and recorded an album.

​

After relocating to Alberta, Canada, Ray joined Greely Band and Broken Heroes at the same time!  Despite the challenges of learning 2 different setlists simultaneously, Ray went on to play with both of those bands for 5 years.  It was during this time that Ray became known as “Iron Man” after being attacked by a 100 lb pitbull resulting in 22 stiches in his left forearm. 10 hours after being released from the hospital, Ray performed with Greely Band at the Tamarack hotel in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta.  “It only hurts while I’m alive!” said Ray Miller from an interview that he had that same night.  “it’s hard to play bass when you can’t feel your pinky!” 

​

Despite, the numbness and pain, Ray played both nights, shocking his bandmates and earning the “Iron Man” title.

​

Ray continued playing with different bands in Alberta including Broken Heroes, Greely Band, Ugly Doris, The Doghouse Band and Direct In. Broken Heroes reformed in 2020 and that is where Ray met Nikki Wozzo.  “Holy shit, he’s like the son I never wanted!”, said Ray after their first meeting.  “Nikki likes all the same music that I do and he has the gift! After performing a couple of shows with Nikki I knew I wanted to write and perform with this guy! Ray has now added Nikki Wozzo & the Bad Whiskey band to his resume and still continues to run the stage with an extraordinary performing ability and thundering bass lines.
