Story: Inspired by Coffeyviller Donnie Miller
Blues Legend and Host of Music City's Longest-Running Blues Jam
The Donnie Miller band "Rude Awakening" is well-known for hosting Nashville's longest-running blues jam, which has provided Donnie the opportunity to give back to the music that fills his soul. But his roots remain in Coffeyville, a place with a storied history of mavericks and outlaws.
After leaving home and playing more than 200 dates a year as a rock musician over 10 years, Donnie signed an 8-album deal with CBS records in 1987. His first album, "One of the Boys," was released in 1990 to critical acclaim and featured Cyndi Lauper and Tommy Shaw making guest appearances.
Donnie was sidelined in 1992 by a devastating hand injury. He began playing blues guitar as a way to regain function of his hand, and fell in love with the genre. He credits playing the blues as saving both his life and his career.
A personal highlight for Donnie came in 2020 when he was inducted into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame. After all the ups and downs of a lifetime in the music business, he still says, "I have been so lucky and blessed to have everything happen to me just at the time it needed to. Yes, I believe in miracles—I'm a 45-year-old overnight success!"
