Surrey, BC’s Tyler Joe Miller burst onto the Canadian country music scene with his Gold-certified debut single, “Pillow Talkin’,” in 2019, earning him a #1 spot at Canadian country radio. He made history as the first independent Canadian country artist to achieve back-to-back #1 singles with his follow-up, “I Would Be Over Me Too.” With 9 Top 10 hits, a 2021 SiriusXM Top of the Country win, and multiple JUNO and CCMA nominations, Miller has firmly established himself as a standout in country music.
His latest EP, Going Home, is nominated for the 2025 CCMA Album of the Year, highlighting his growth as a songwriter with heartfelt storytelling centred on love, loss, and resilience. Catch him performing live at Peterborough Musicfest on Wednesday, July 15 at 8:00 PM, and on the upcoming CCMA Awards on September 13, where he is also nominated for Male Artist of the Year and Fans’ Choice.
