Steve Miller Band at Pine Knob Music Theatre

Needless to say, the rock period of the 1970s and 1980s would not have been as magnificent as it was without the notable bands that shaped the genre. One of these bands is the Steve Miller Band. With massive hits like "Jet Airliner," "Brave New World," "The Joker," and "Living in the U.S.A.," among many others, Steve Miller has made his indelible mark in music history.

Formed in the late 60s, the band has made significant contributions not only in rock and roll but to several genres like blues, classic, and psychedelic rock. The band was formed after Steve Miller separated from Goldberg-Miller Blues Band. Signed to Capitol Records, the band recorded its debut album, "Children of the Future," in 1968 and would go on to be the start of the group's many hit singles through the decade and the years to come. Their album, "The Joker," is one of their best hits, becoming one of the best radio hits across six countries and reaching over one million sales.

Over the years, the band became instrumental in developing the modern rock scene, earning their place among the greats. Unsurprisingly Steve Miller Band has won many awards and recognitions, including eight Grammy nominations for several categories like Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, Best Pop Instrumental Performance, and Best Album Package. Their hit album "Fly Like an Eagle" was a certified Platinum album by the RIAA, while their "Book of Dreams" album hit the Quadruple Platinum — a feat that only a very artists of any genre achieved. These achievements, among several others, cemented their place in the music world, paving the way to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The group members have undergone a few changes over time, but most of them have been a constant, and they are still playing for the band. The group comprises Boz Scags, Kenny Lee Lewis, Joseph Wooten, Jacob Peterson, and Ron Wikso.
