DJ Miller’s “Between Sundays” Stresses Christian Values, Everyday Kindness


(Nashville, Tenn. – Sept. 1, 2011) Country artist DJ Miller has received a wealth of positive reaction to his current single, “Between Sundays,” not only from his Country fans, but also the Christian music community.

In addition to early response at GAC (Great American Country), The Country Network and landing the most successful video premiere to date at Yallwire.com, Miller’s “Between Sundays” video has also received placement on GMC (Gospel Music Channel), Sunday’s Kind of Country and GAC’s “Positively GAC” program, among other destinations.

Miller believes the song’s earnest lyrics connect with both Country and Christian audiences because “Between Sundays” underscores the importance of helping out others through simple acts of everyday kindness.

“It’s kind of like walking the walk and not just talking the talk,” says the 21-year-old Indiana native.  “I believe it’s important to go to church every Sunday, but I think what’s even more important is what you do those other six days of the week.  Like the lyric says, the measure of a man can best be found between Sundays.  The message is really about remembering to care for each other, and that’s what drew me toward releasing this song as a single.  I’m just thrilled it’s kind of crossing over to other audiences besides Country.”

Miller’s “Between Sundays” music video was shot by award-winning Broken Poet Productions director Eric Welch, who has directed projects for a wide spectrum of Christian and Country artists, including TobyMac, Jars of Clay, dc Talk, Randy Houser, Jamey Johnson, Jewel and Little Big Town, among others.

“Between Sundays” is Miller’s first music video.  The single jumped last week to No. 41 on Billboard’s Country Indicator chart as the young singer continues to travel across the U.S. visiting radio stations on his national Country radio tour.  Miller’s debut album is due out later this year.

“Between Sundays” lyrics:

His eyes help tell his stories, and his knuckles show the scars
From 40 years of fixing flats and working on cars
He believes in being faithful, says dance with who you brung
One of many pearls of wisdom that roll right off his tongue
He says if you can’t feed the hungry, or put a smile on an orphans face,
It don’t mean a thing that you know the words to “Amazing Grace”

And life don’t always run like a well-oiled machine
You catch more flies with honey than you do by being mean
And any time you help someone else, it all comes back around
And the measure of a man can best be found between Sundays

Well he’s never made much money, but he can always spare a buck
For anyone in town down on their luck
I saw him working on a van for a single mom who couldn’t pay
He fixed it up as good as new and sent her on her way
He says if you can’t love your neighbor like you love yourself
Blow the dust off of that Good Book and put it back on the shelf

Cause life don’t always run like a well-oiled machine
You catch more flies with honey than you do by being mean
And any time you help someone else, it all comes back around
And the measure of a man can best be found between Sundays

He’s only missed church twice since 1994
But he knows what matters most is what goes on outside those doors

And life don’t always run like a well-oiled machine
You catch more flies with honey than you do by being mean
And any time you help someone else it all comes back around
And the measure of a man can best be found
Yeah the measure of a man can best be found between Sundays
Between Sundays

About The Artists:

Deborah Allen – Deborah Allen is best known for her Grammy-nominated smash, “Baby I Lied,” but this singer/songwriter/producer’s career has been bolstered with numerous hits on the Pop and Country charts: “Rock Me,” “I’ve Been Wrong Before,” “I Hurt For You” and plenty of others.  Deborah’s new album (out this summer) features her signature sound of Country, Blues, Pop and Rock influences – delivered in a way that only this sultry Delta singer from Memphis can.  The first single is a fun-loving, funky Country shuffle called “Anything Other Than Love.”  www.DeborahAllen.com

Lacy Green – North Carolina native Lacy Green was exposed at an early age to the Country, Bluegrass and Folk music that dominated her local music scene.  Her 2011 debut single, “For the Summertime,” reflects those influences admirably in a warm, Alison Krauss-inspired sound.  The 21-year-old college student and singer is currently busy recording her debut album in Nashville with renowned producer and songwriter Ronnie Bowman.  “For the Summertime” is due at Country radio in June, with an EP release scheduled for this fall.  www.LacyGreen.com

Adam Gregory – This Edmonton, Alberta native secured his first record deal at age 13 and was a Gold-selling artist in Canada by the time he moved to Nashville in 2007.  He released his U.S. debut single, “Crazy Days,” in 2008 and followed up the Top 30 Music Row effort with the ballad, “What It Takes.”  In 2010, he starred in the film “What Would Jesus Do?” with John Schneider.  Currently, Adam is splitting his time between Edmonton and Nashville, where he is writing material with a number of prominent, chart-topping songwriters in preparation for his next project.  www.AdamGregory.com

Amber Hayes – Amber Hayes had a breakout year in 2010 with her Top 40 debut single, “C’mon.”  Her follow-up, “Wait,” is currently climbing the charts and closing in fast on another Top 40 appearance.  Award-winning director Steven Goldmann shot the video for “Wait,” which world-premiered on Yallwire.com on May 13.  This Oklahoma native and former theater star is as genuine as they come and one of those rare artists today that can make radio-friendly Country music without straying too far from tradition.  Her debut EP was released through FUNL Music in September 2010.  www.AmberHayesMusic.com

Ty Herndon - Ty Herndon’s latest album, the Country/Christian/Bluegrass-inspired Journey On, earned the chart-topping Country singer a Grammy nomination in 2011 and a Dove Award in 2010.  The title track was also selected as the signature song for the Kevin Turner Foundation.  Turner is an ex-NFL player recently diagnosed with ALS, and after hearing “Journey On,” Turner and Herndon agreed that it was the perfect song to help raise awareness in the fight against ALS.  Both Ty and Kevin have been chosen as co-chairs in this year’s national ALS Therapy Alliance/CVS campaign, featured in 7,400 stores across the country.  Ty is currently working on a new, 100% Country effort and preparing to release a new single later in 2011.  www.TyHerndon.com

Rachel Holder – Eighteen-year-old Rachel Holder possesses the kind of voice that makes an immediate impression.   For the past several months, Rachel has been working in the studio on her debut album with industry vet and respected producer Chuck Howard.  The first single, “Chocolate,” is currently at Country radio and is already making a connection with female listeners.  Rachel also released a special holiday track and video in December for her cover of “Christmas Eve.”  Rachel’s debut album is due out later this year on All Entertainment.  www.RachelHolder.com

DJ Miller – DJ Miller is grabbing Country radio’s attention with his most recent single, “Whatever It Takes.”  The heartfelt track earned the singer his first Top 40 single on the Billboard Country Indicator, Aircheck Activator and Music Row charts.  This 21-year-old from Idaville, Indiana, is known for his entertaining stage show, and with a new album ready for release this summer, he’ll be on the road bringing that show to Country music fans everywhere.  DJ’s debut single in 2010 was the up-tempo party track, “A Little Naughty Is Nice.” DJ is gearing up for his next release, “Between Sundays,” which will be at radio in the coming weeks.  www.DJMillerCountry.com

Margaret Phillips – Newcomer Margaret Phillips has the voice to match her striking looks.  At nearly six feet tall, the model-esque Phillips is certainly a compelling presence on stage, but this Mississippi native is more than just another pretty face.  Discovered by Grammy-nominated artist Deborah Allen, the two women have been writing material for Margaret’s debut album, due out in 2011.  The bluesy, soulful influences of her upbringing are balanced nicely with her affection for Country acts like Sugarland, Lee Ann Womack and Loretta Lynn.  Produced by Allen, the project’s first single is expected this summer. www.MargaretPhillipsMusic.com

DJ Miller Kicks Off New Year With New Single, “Whatever It Takes”


Rising singer preparing debut album for release, currently on promotional radio tour

(Nashville, Tenn. – Jan. 24, 2011)  Evergreen Records recording artist DJ Miller is kicking off the new year with a new single, “Whatever It Takes,” from his forthcoming 2011 debut album release.

Written by songwriters Don Goodman, Brad Wolf and Trini Triggs, “Whatever It Takes” is a commanding, traditional-style Country ballad that aptly showcases the 21-year-old singer’s rich vocal.  It follows Miller’s 2010 debut single, “A Little Naughty Is Nice,” and a special holiday release, “A Snowman In Birmingham.”

Produced by Goodman and veteran Music Row executive Johnny Morris, “Whatever It Takes” struck DJ with its earnest lyrics and straightforward concept.

“It’s a song about the sacrifices the man is willing to make for his wife so that he can provide for his family and make their marriage work,” says Miller.  “I think it’s a pretty simple message, but it’s something that most people can probably identify with.  It’s gotten really great response from the folks I’ve been playing it for so far on our radio tour, so I’m excited to see what the fans think about it.”

Earlier this month, the Idaville, Ind., native visited several stations on the West coast in support of the new single.  He is slated to continue his promotional tour in multi-week legs for the next few months as he makes his way back across the U.S.

Miller is currently finishing his debut album, with plans to release it in the spring of 2011.  For more information, visit www.DJMillerCountry.com.
