This cat's going places, especially after being on She'll Be Right lol...
Very excited to write we’ve got rising Kiwi Americana music star Miller Yule as featured artist on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time) on East FM.
The Auckland born-and-bred singer-songwriter is coming into the studio to talk about his fantastic new album Let It Burn and his life in music from 3.30pm. We’ll play the 10-song work in entirety, too.
It’s also the second of three SBRs to feature artists on the bluestacular line-up for the Auckland Blues Festival, on November 12, and we’ll be spinning tracks by artists on the bill.
Miller Yule says his debut album Let It Burn is “explosive, emotive, invasive, passionate, and fiery!”
He’s thought carefully about life and presented his storytelling in beautiful musical form. There’s some serious storylines without being too heavy, wrapped in excited and catchy melodies and beats.
“It will give you that pumping, kick-start, upbeat vibe as well as those slow-burning, passionate and reflective feels.
“Let It Burn covers the journey of fire. From the spark to the flame, becoming engulfed to dying out, smouldering smoky embers to ash and dust.
“It’s a body of work that captures my life in my 20s. The good, the bad, the highs, the lows, the falling in love, the heartbreak, the regrets, the depression, the fulfilment and the emptiness, being lost to being exactly where I was meant to be all along!
“Simultaneously exciting and terrifying, this was my 20s… along with everyone else!
“Releasing this album is the final cathartic act of letting go of these experiences and letting it all burn away.
“You can’t erase the past, but you can let go, let it be and let it burn. You can accept everything for what it was, who you were and who you’ve become from the experience, the struggle and the transformation. This is life and this is Let It Burn!”
He sure has a way with words, Miller Yule.

Harbour Bridge lane closure - protests
The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to parliament last week and could have ramifications on the partnership between the Crown and Māori.
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti (March for the Treaty of Waitangi) set off from Cape Rēinga on Monday morning and is expected to reach Wellington next Tuesday. It has now passed through Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Whangārei, Dargaville and is passing through Auckland on Wednesday.
What you need to know today:
- The hīkoi is due to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge about 9.30am on Wednesday. Two northbound lanes will be closed at some point before the crossing, and remain closed during it.
- NZTA shared at 8:50am Wednesday:
'Curran St northbound on-ramp will be closed shortly, with two northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge expected to close from approx 9.30am this morning. Allow extra time for likely delays through this area.'
- The hīkoi is expected to go across the Harbour Bridge, in a controlled fashion before marching through parts of the CBD towards Okahu Bay.
- Auckland commuters should expect traffic disruption in vicinity of both sides of the Harbour Bridge.
Stuff reporter Steve Kilgallon was at Stafford Park on the north side of the Harbour Bridge at 8.30am Wednesday and shared:
"I just walked through Stafford Park, where there’s about 400-500 people quietly assembled and more arriving; and about 20 police standing over near the motorway off ramp. Lot of Tino Rangatira flags in evidence, local streets very busy with parked cars."
Police have shared that they will respond accordingly to any issues that may arise along the route.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
