No stranger to podcasting, in his credits is "Gusto Sessions with Jeff Miers" which he co-hosted with Robby Takac of Goo Goo Dolls fame. Miers was inducted into the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame in 2014 as a musician and journalist. Alongside his journalism career, he has been a mainstay in the Buffalo and Western New York music scenes as bandleader and sideman. In 2022 he released his debut solo album Dharma for None.
