Steve Miller was already with a band before the Steve Miller Band was born. However, he left the band he was already in and formed the Steve Miller Blues Band, which was later on shortened to the current name that it has. After signing up with Capitol Records, the band performed with Chuck Berry at Filmore West, which led to more gigs for the group.
The band has released a number of recordings, including a Greatest Hits album. The band is set to release their latest album in June 2010, which is said to be composed of R&B and blues covers.
