Biggest thanks to Nicki Escudero!

….and then….

Nicki also did a blog entry on me blabbering about my song “Tiny Eucatastrophes”, in New Times’ “Up on the Sun” along with some videos from a recent performance. I am being spoiled for no good reason.

]]> http://tobiemilford.com/?feed=rss2&p=185 0 Watch Roadtrip Nation episode w “Tiny Eucs”! http://tobiemilford.com/?p=167 http://tobiemilford.com/?p=167#comments Fri, 17 Sep 2010 21:29:38 +0000 admin http://tobiemilford.com/?p=167

It’s finally that time…

Here you can watch the episode of Roadtrip Nation featuring “Tiny Eucatastrophes”. It starts right at the two-minute mark, “Nice to meet you,” dum dum dum dum dum dum….

…and thus I am strongly considering renaming the song to “Hello Tina”.

While you’re at it, you might as well watch the entire episode. It’s a really good one!

The song has also been placed on a compilation that will be distributed around the country as the green Roadtrip Nation RV’s tour college campuses this fall. How nice! If you are at any of my upcoming shows, I will have download cards for people who would like to get the entire comp. Just ask.

See the trailer for Season 7 here.

Click here to see pictures of yours truly from a photo shoot by my friend Tiffany, who is somehow able to make even unphotogenic folks such as myself look interesting…be sure to also check out the rest of the galleries as well. Her other friends are much prettier.

This culminates in a nuanced and unique sound: ambient, minimalist string textures, quartet-style harmonies, sophisticated plucking patterns, and dynamic vocal melodies. His songwriting has led him to become one of Phoenix’s most widely-lauded solo acts, and his diverse fan base has invited him to play everywhere from bars and music venues to museums, art galleries, and a broad array of festivals, including Cincinatti’s Midpoint Music Festival in 2010. His new material includes arrangements for a Phoenix Symphony-based string quartet which will perform with him at various special shows throughout the Phoenix area, and is poised to expand his sound considerably.

Musical influences include Radiohead, Max Richter, Arvo Part, Rachels, Sigur Ros, Sufjan Stevens, and Andrew Bird. His current recordings have been played on PBS programming, US Airways flights, and internet radio stations, reaching listeners from South Africa to New Zealand.

Milford has contributed to the latest recordings of many Phoenix bands/songwriters including What Laura Says Thinks and Feels, Kinch, Peachcake, Ryan Taverna, the Constellation Branch, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Michelle Blades, Courtney Marie Andrews, Justin Olsen, Porches, and Cardiac Party. He was also commissioned by Snake Snake Snakes! to compose and perform string accompaniments for their live show when they opened for Jimmy Eat World at Phoenix’s Marquee Theater in October 2010.

Milford is also a member of Phoenix band the Whisperlights and has performed frequently with Michelle Blades.
