"Known for their vintage pearl-snap shirts and hippie-inspired hair styles, Miles From Nowhere is slowly converting new fans to the age-old southern genre that seems to be taking Texas and Oklahoma by storm."

"Inspired by the lyrics and lives of music legends Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash, four area roughnecks are attempting to walk their own line on the crooked road that is Texas music."

"These guys have voices that can turn heads...This band can do it all and do it all good."

"Last up was Miles From Nowhere. Merrol and his merry men brought some country flavor to the close of day two. One of their strongest performances I've seen to date! They love to play and they have that snarl and swagger that always makes for a fun show. The small but always appreciative Shagbark crowd that was there made some real noise. A great ending to a great couple of days of music."

Inspired by the lyrics and lives of music legends Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash, four area roughnecks are attempting to walk their own line on the crooked road that is Texas music. Known for their vintage pearl-snap shirts and hippie-inspired hair styles, local band Miles From Nowhere is slowly converting new fans to the age-old southern genre that seems to be taking Texas and Oklahoma by storm.

Merrol Ray, Joey Jordan, Adam Walker and Wesley Joe Malone make up the band and have been playing at local bars and fundraisers for more than a year.

Texas music band Miles From Nowhere has conquered the local social circuit with their unique country-meets-southern-rock sound. But after winning the invitation-only Shiner Rising Star 2006 competition last night in Plano, the men of MFN have a chance to make it even bigger. The group earned a $15,000 record contract with Shiner Records by outlasting 25 of the best unsigned bands in Texas music during the 13-week contest.

"The entertainment, it goes without saying, was first class. Rachelle Storm and the Rythmadddicts got the early bird attendies moving and warmed up the stage for Miles From Nowhere, a local country group that has just gotten its first recording contract. The band previewed some of the material on its upcoming CD and urged the audience to 'contact your local radio stations and request our songs.' The audience indicated its approval of that plan of action."

"2007 is going to see the release of a new Miles From Nowhere CD. Produced by Dan Baird of Georgia Satellites fame, the album is going to have some muscle behind its promotion, thanks to Shiner Records (their new label) being a part of Universal Music Distribution, one of the "Big Four" record companies. Having won the Shiner Rising Star award, MFN has literally been hand picked to represent Texas music by one of the most recognized brands of Texas."

"Miles From Nowhere adds new members to it's fan base everywhere it plays and is playing the Texoma area quite often. The band has fun, so does its audience. The four man group obviously enjoys their work while emitting quality sounds, and that combination casts a charm over the audience."

"You guys are great."

Miles From Nowhere finished setting up around 8:30 and began their high energy set. These guys are actually signed to Shiner Records, a sub-label of Palo Duro Records (somebody correct me if I’m wrong). The lead singer talked with a heavy Texas twang, and was quite humorous. The band leaned towards rock and had a ton of energy.
