Founded 2004, based in Paris, TX
Miles From Nowhere was formed in the summer of 2004 when Merrol Ray decided he was through with being a guitar for hire and knew it was time to do his own thing. With a few phone calls, the genesis of what would become Miles From Nowhere was conceived. Ray found himself a drummer then called his younger cousin Adam. He knew Adam would be interested because he would occasionally bring his guitar over and sing parts of songs that he had learned. Practicing in Ray's Dad's welding shop, they began auditioning bass players with none quite working out. Finally a phone call that Ray had placed weeks before paid off. Joey showed up, played one song, and Ray said, “You’re in for life; quit, and I’ll kill you.” After only five months the original drummer left the band so Ray called Wesley Joe to play drums. Disappointment turned into joy and Miles From Nowhere was born.
The band has since released their self-titled debut CD and won the Shiner Rising Star competition in Dallas, earning them a record contract with Shiner Records.
