Miller Yule is a Kiwi singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who combines a romantic poeticism with his Americana pop-rock hits. His longstanding dreams of being in a rock band are coming gracefully to fruition, as Miller releases Lock Me Up (Acoustic).

The unplugged cover of his recent single offers an added layer of sincerity, as Miller says, "I particularly like the acoustic version of Lock Me Up because that’s how I originally wrote it in my bedroom at my flat. There is something more intimate, personal and raw about the live acoustic performance. Plus the harmonica solo is banging!" Miller performs vocals, acoustic guitar, and harmonica on the acoustic rendition that was recorded, mixed and mastered by Scott Seabright.

Embarking on his musical journey in 2016, Miller Yule's acclaimed introductory EP Shoot Me In The Heart debuted at #4 on the New Zealand Albums Chart. A multi-instrumentalist, Miller played every instrument on the EP and it was recorded and mixed by Miller and his producer/engineer father, Phil Yule. The EP's folky-pop and honest songwriting aesthetic proved popular with legendary American songwriter Ben Harper who asked Miller to join him on his 2016 New Zealand tour, thus unleashing Miller's passionate live show!

In 2017 Miller turned up the volume with his single Diamonds. The rockier sound showcased a different side of Miller and complimented his dynamic live performances. So much so that in 2018 Miller released a 7-track live music and video EP (Miller Yule Live). Wonderfully executed, the live EP captures Miller's energetic, emotive, guitar melting, harmonica soaring, re-interpretation of his recorded songs.

2019 saw Miller Yule hide away working on his next body of work due for release in 2020. But 2020 saw a global pandemic throw everything up in the air for the music industry. Fast forward to the present and October 2021 saw the return of Miller as he released his new single Lock Me Up. A romantic, hard-hitting, unrequited love song about the morals of stealing someone else's heart. It has been received very well and marks the beginning of a new sound and era for Miller Yule.
