Making critically acclaimed indie music.
Creative director Craig Douglas Miller is also the guitarist, songwriter, and voice behind Blueburst, a project channeling the spirit of classic ’80s alternative with a modern, honest edge. After more than 20 years away from music, sidelined by untreated clinical depression and writer’s block, Craig found his way back, transforming struggle into songs that shine with hope, resilience, and the thrill of new beginnings. Teaming up with legendary guitarist Marty Willson-Piper (The Church), he crafts chiming guitars, big hooks, and lyrics drawn from real-life battles and hard-won renewal. With Blueburst’s debut album Significance out now, Craig’s journey is living proof that redemption and reinvention are always within reach, no matter where you’ve been.

Craig Talks to People
Being in Blueburst means that other musicians who I love are willing to talk to me on camera. So I thought it’d be enlightening to interview some of them.
