Jim (aka Reid)


Reid Miller (Jim) began singing in the shower at age 14, and despite everyone’s protestations to the contrary, managed to work his vocal stylings in to a rabid avocation, lasting almost 40 years. Barbershop in the Sixties, an Eagles-esque band in the Seventies, The Northside Travel Club and Q-95 in the Eighties, the Indianapolis Opera Company in the Nineties, and now, some 75 operas, 25 musicals, The Rocky Horror Show, a wife or two (or three) and countless gigs later he manages once again to bask in the warmth of Marni Lemons’ glow, reprising his “some-kind-or-another” award winning role of Jim in Pump Boys & Dinettes. As a father to two, a friend to a few, and a fine fellow to many, he hopes you enjoy this show as much as he does while he essentially plays himself as the owner of a small business trying to scratch a living out of the dry earth of music and gasoline. And yes, I still sing in the shower.
