Buddy Miller suffers heart attack, undergoes triple bypass
Sunday, February 22, 2009 – Ace guitarist, songwriter and producer Buddy Miller, touring with Emmylou Harris, apparently suffered a heart attack Friday in Baltimore and underwent triple bypass surgery.
Miller, 56, was part of the "3 Girls And Their Buddy" tour with Harris, Shawn Colvin and Patty Griffin. Miller had played in concert on Friday night.

Miller was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, where he had surgery, according to The Tennessean. The web site said, "The surgery was successful, and Miller will likely be recovering in Baltimore for several weeks."

Miller is a recording artist in his own right with a CD with wife Julie coming out March 3 on New West Records. He also was guitarist for the Robert Plant and Alison Krauss tour.

Thanks for the heads up.

I got to play with Buddy and Julie back in '92 or '93, back when Julie was the queen of Christian Rock and Buddy was backing her up.

I was also their driver at the Creation Festival that same year (I think).

They're both wonderful people and I wish Buddy well.

I guess that's why "3 Girls And Their Buddy" was just "3 Girls" last Friday at the Beacon Theater. Emmylou Harris said Buddy had gotten sick the night before but he was OK and just needed some rest.
