you've heard him on all of STING's recordings. Dominic Miller is one of the most
sought after session guitarists of our time. He's featured on recordings by Phil
Collins, Peter Gabriel, Sheryl Crow, Backstreet Boys, Steve Winwood, Rod
Stewart, The Pretenders and Luciano Pavarotti to name just a few. His
recent critically acclaimed all acoustic recording with 5 time Grammy Award
nominated pianist/composer Peter Kater
features guest appearances by vocalist, Kenny Loggins and cellist, Jaques
Morelenbaum. Dominic met Peter while working on a film score Peter was composing
and recording and the two both felt they needed to record a CD together. IN A
DREAM was released in late 2008 and July of 2009 is their first concert tour
together. This promises to be an inspiring intimate evening of all acoustic
music performed by these two very special musicians.

Dominic Miller
Dominic Miller was born in 1960 in Buenos Aires, Argentina and in 1970 his family moved to Racine, Wisconsin, in the United States. He took up guitar as a young teenager and later studied with Sabastio Tapajos and at London's Guildhall School of Music. In 1989 Miller met Producer Hugh Padgham for the first time which not only led to Miller's appearance on Phil Collins' blockbuster album "But Seriously" , but also led to his playing on Sting's "The Soul Cages" which came out in 1991. Ever since, Dominic Miller has been a member of Sting's working band, having played on each CD and every tour to date; Sting himself describes him as being "my right hand and my left hand". Not a minor compliment. In fact, during Sting's entire 2 year reunion tour with the Police, he retained Dominic's availability to work with Sting again as soon as the Police tour was completed.

Peter Kater
Peter Kater was born in Munich Germany in 1958 and later moved with his family to New Jersey where he started classical piano lessons which later led to a deep exploration into contemporary improvisation. His love for Rock and Pop music along with the classics and jazz created a "hybrid" style of his own. Basing out of Boulder, CO in the 1980's, Peter and only a handful of musicians spearheaded a brand new genre of music we now know as New Age music. Peter went on to be a leading contributor to Contemporary Jazz radio with with several Top 10 national releases. He also helped bring Native American and World Music to the mainstream in collaborations with Native American flutist, R. Carlos Nakai, and Tibetan flutest, Nawang Khechog. Add to that scores for 11 On and Off-Broadway plays, over 100 television programs and many films and documentaries and you're just starting to understand this diverse and prolific artist.
Peter has received 5 Grammy Award nominations in the last 6 years, has sold millions of CD's and is a proud recipient of the Environmental Leadership Award from the United Nations (in addition to many other awards and honors). His love of nature and the environment motivates him to work with the media arts to help and inspire support many environmental support organizations. He's recently scored the music to the award winning films "10 Questions for the Dalai Lama" and the soon to be released "Legends of Secret Pass".
