Milton: Scenes From the Interior Milton’s
songs paint vivid moving pictures of American life using elements
of country, blues, folk, rock and jazz music. And while the melodies
of his compositions are adeptly constructed, the individual character
of his singing voice and the distinctive idiom of his lyrics take
Milton’s music into truly original territory. In his live act,
Milt, the composer becomes a performer of calm assurance and warm,
spontaneous energy that further builds his stature on the contemporary
scene. Who is
Milton? All sources indicate that Milton came out of the American
suburbs and traded his last name for a guitar at the same pawn shop
where Beck, Prince and Pigpen got their instruments. He turned up
a few years ago playing engagements in various cities of the interior
before relocating permanently to New York. Meet Milton
and you will meet a tall, bookish optimist, who will tell you about
the "heavy" new group that he heard in a club last night
and the old folk recording that he listened to this morning with
equal enthusiasm. Indeed Milton has much to be enthusiastic and
optimistic about. He has curated an exposition of some very fine
‘scenes’ that are currently on display in the form of
this album. -- Mark Withacy, The Village Reader BIOGRAPHY After
touring and recording through the Midwest and Chicago in the late
nineties, he moved back to New York to join Manhattan Heroes, an
electric post punk pop band. Milt has been playing in New York clubs
and touring and recording with NY luminaries ever since. MEMBERS: Current
