About Dan and the Band

For the past 20 years, Dan Miller’s Cowboy Music Revue has performed in Cody six nights each week, from June through September, to almost 200,000 visitors from 70 different foreign countries. They have performed over 2,000 shows together – from east coast to west coast, from Minnesota to Mexico – and have delighted audiences with their tight harmonies and musical excellence.

For almost fifteen years, Dan and his group have been featured artists in Nashville on the popular television show, “Larry’s Country Diner.” USA Today, Cowboys and Indians magazine and television networks RFD-TV, ESPN, the Travel Channel and the Outdoor Channel have all featured the Cowboy Music Revue.

“Absolutely delightful,” praised one writer for Cowboys and Indians Magazine. “These are proud Wyomingites, showing guests what’s great about their state. I left smiling and surprised.”

Dan’s circle of Nashville friends are fans, as well. Two-time CMA Entertainer of the Year Barbara Mandrell said of her visit, “The highlight of our wonderful vacation in Cody, Wyoming was the evening we spent at Dan Miller’s Cowboy Music Revue. It is truly a fantastic, thoroughly entertaining variety show!”

In recent  years, the group has had the opportunity to take their show on the road, performing more than 50 community concerts in 13 different states, delighting audiences from coast to coast.

“We had a deluge of rave reviews, both at the concert and the next morning at our local church, from folks who were still enthralled by the show twelve hours later,” noted the president of Stage Alive in Culpeper, Virginia. “One of the most entertaining acts we have presented in several years.”

Appearing with Miller are Wendy Corr, who plays bass and sings lead and harmony vocals, and Dan’s daughter, Hannah May, who sings and plays fiddle and mandolin in the show.

Long before Dan was hosting television shows like PBR Bull Riding, American Magazine and Due West, he was playing the showrooms of Nevada with The Dan Miller Band. While working on a dairy farm in Indiana he dreamed of movies, music and the entertainment industry.

After attending college on a football scholarship, Dan headed to Los Angeles to pursue his dreams. In L.A. he studied acting, worked in radio and television and performed in clubs. Those jobs led to the stages of Reno, Tahoe and Las Vegas and a touring schedule that took him from Alaska to Florida.

When he moved to Nashville to pursue a recording career, Dan found more opportunities existed for him there in television, commercials and voice over work. Over the next 15 years he hosted a variety of television shows including the Cable ACE award winning Top Card, and conventions for national corporations including Toyota and Subaru.

After Dan and his family moved to Cody, Wyoming, Dan continued to host television shows including “Xtreme Bulls” on GAC and “The Best of the West” on the Outdoor Channel. In 2015 he was awarded the Excellence in Broadcast Journalism Award by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) for producing and hosting “National Finals Tonight,” a live broadcast at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, which ran for 14 years.

Many of Dan’s fellow musicians in Nashville have accepted his invitation to perform in Cody—performers such as Mel Tillis, The Bellamy Brothers, Kathy Mattea, Billy Dean, Suzy Bogguss and Ed Bruce have entertained audiences in Cody as part of Dan’s “Cody Wild West Shows.”

Wendy joined the band in 2008 as bass player and harmony vocalist. Wendy’s musical background goes back to her college years as a musical theatre major. She has performed onstage in community theatre productions, as well as singing for local events for many years.

Outside her performances with the Cowboy Music Revue, Wendy is the Broadcast Media Director for Cowboy State Daily, the most-read news organization in Wyoming. She produces and anchors a daily newscast, as well as hosting a weekly podcast that features the most interesting people in the Cowboy State – recently winning a coveted Wrangler Award at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum for her skills as an interviewer.

Wendy is the proud mom of two grown children, and also serves as the music and worship director at the First Presbyterian Church in Cody. Wendy is the business manager for the Cowboy Music Revue, and handles the marketing and promotion as well.

Dan’s daughter Hannah has performed onstage with her dad since the tender age of six, when she would appear to recite a cowboy poem, her dad would give her a dollar, and she would exit until the next night’s performance!

At the age of 9, Hannah began playing the fiddle, just a few songs each night, to the delight of the visitors! Soon after she added harmony vocals, becoming a full-fledged member of the band after adding the mandolin to her repertoire of musical skills.

Hannah completed her master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology at the University of St. Augustine, and is a full-time Speech Pathologist for the Children’s Resource Center in Lovell, Wyoming. She and her husband, Reece May, also work on the family’s ranch in the Bighorn Mountains.
