HiddenTrack #238 BLUEBURST (Craig Douglas Miller)

BLUEBURST is the collaboration between guitarist and vocalist Craig Douglas Miller of The Reach and Marty Willson-Piper of The Church. 

After major label interest for his 1990s band, The Reach, never quite panned out, Miller entered a 20 year period of musical hibernation due to untreated clinical depression and writer’s block.

However, a fortuitous meeting with legendary guitarist Marty Willson-Piper changed everything. Inspired by Willson-Piper’s guidance, Miller reconstructed his home studio and completed an album’s worth of original songs.

Together, Miller and Willson-Piper deliver a lush, guitar-based sound rooted in ’80s alternative and post-punk, but with a timeless feel. Meanwhile, themes of seizing life’s fleeting moments and striving to leave a mark on the world permeate the sonic tapestry.

Blueburst’s debut album Significance dropped in October 2023 and a new album is planned for 2025.
