The Steve Miller Band is an American rock band formed in San Francisco, California, in 1966, led by Steve Miller on guitar and lead vocals. The group gained prominence in the mid- to late-1970s with hit singles that became staples of classic rock radio, following earlier releases in the psychedelic rock style. Miller formed the Steve Miller Blues Band after leaving his first band and moving to San Francisco. The band signed with Capitol Records in 1967 and shortened its name to the Steve Miller Band.
