Music is in his soul

Don Stirling , executive director of the Miller Family Office and Miller Family Philanthropy , recently collaborated on a musical project to create the Soultown Revivalists , a Utah-based supergroup of musicians who have brought to life a handful of R & B-esque songs he , along with longtime friend and collaborator Sam Cardon , wrote during the pandemic . The group includes singer-songwriter Ryan Innes , The National Parks frontman Brady Parks , and a few musicians from the band Fictionist , among others . The title song from the debut album , “ Burning Daylight ,” quickly reached No . 1 on Spotify ’ s “ All Funked Up ” playlist .
Stirling and Cardon really didn ’ t have to search far to bring this music to life . Above all else , the pair said , the Soultown Revivalists project is a celebration of Utah ’ s vast treasure trove of musical talent . And they hope to bring this project to the stage for a live show sometime in the near future . In the meantime , a 15-song commemorative album is available on soultownrevivalists . com .
