The American rock group, the Steve Miller Band, will perform at the Don Haskins Center July 29 as part of the group’s 2016 North American Summer Tour.

The tour, which was confirmed in the wake of Steve Miller’s acceptance and induction as a solo artist into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, kicked off June 17 in Northfield, Ohio.

The band will make its stop in El Paso before concluding their tour in September, along with Santana, Journey and the Doobie Brothers in San Francisco, Calif., at AT&T Park.

Throughout the course of the band’s career they have been both, in the words of a release about the tour, “a psychedelic blues sound that drew on the deepest sources of American roots music” and a “brand of rock ‘n’ roll music that was polished, exciting and irresistible.”

The group is responsible for contributing staples such as “The Joker,” “Livin’ in the USA” and “Take the Money and Run” to the genre.

“He (Steve Miller) is an institution in the music industry and I’m looking forward to seeing him live on stage,” said Jorge Vasquez, executive director of UTEP’s Office of Special Events.

The Steve Miller Band’s members have changed several times over the years, but its current members include Jacob Peterson, Joseph Wooten, Gordy Knudston and Kenny Lee Lewis.

Miller has recently been contributing his time to serving on the welcoming committee of the Department of Musical Instruments of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and as a board member of Jazz at Lincoln Center, where he curates and hosts shows at both institutions, “celebrating the bridge between blues and jazz music and early American music.”

Tickets are available through the UTEP Ticket Center, Ticketmaster.com or by phone at 800-745-3000.
