Randy Miller has been self-employed as a musician and graphic artist since the 1970s, playing traditional New England and Irish tunes on fiddle, accordion, and piano. Randy has traveled extensively to Ireland, Scotland, and Cape Breton to listen to and collect the music. He hosts weekly Irish sessions, and is the dance fiddler for The Inn at East Hill Farm in Troy, NH. Randy Miller and Jack Perron co-founded Fiddlecase Books, a leading publisher of traditional music, in 1973.

Randy is also a self-taught wood engraver with an eye for rural landscapes and old buildings. His black and white prints are noted for authenticity and fine detail. In 1999 Randy was commissioned by Yankee Publishing, Inc., to engrave a design for the title page of The Old Farmer’s Almanac. The Almanac had used the previous frontispiece continuously for 190 years until the year 2000, when it was replaced by his wood engraving of Ceres, the Goddess of Agriculture.
