Miller's Crossing is a bluegrass band based out of Long Island, New York. The band was formed in November 2004 by Chris Maloy, Ronnie Feinberg, Marjorie Kelting, and Patrick Falco. Miller's Crossing prides itself on the original material each member brings to the band's repertoire. They strive to play bluegrass music the way they feel it, and the result is a fresh outlook on the music while not getting too far away from it's roots.
A premier release of the CD "Adirondack Rail", by Marjorie Kelting and Ronnie Feinberg, is an example of some of the material performed by Miller's Crossing.

Chris Maloy was born and raised in New Jersey and began his career playing the guitar in a country/blues band in Columbus, Ohio. While living there, he discovered bluegrass music and quickly turned all his attention to singing and playing rhythm guitar. Chris honed his bluegrass chops playing in local Long Island bluegrass bands for five years before joining Miller's Crossing, and has worked on recording projects with Andy Falco, Cody Kilby, and Josh Williams. Chris sings lead and tenor vocals and plays rhythm and lead guitar.
