Many Miles Band blends singer-songwriter Pop and Rock with Soul, Folk, and Jazz influences, delivering dynamic live performances that feel both heartfelt and uplifting. Featuring two distinct lead vocalists and songwriters, the band bridges genres with ease, creating music that connects with diverse audiences through strong melodies, emotional depth, and an undeniable sense of joy on stage.
Fronted by singer-songwriter Dave Tate and Swedish soul vocalist Victoria Lagerström, Many Miles Band balances intimacy with energy. Tate’s songwriting and finger-style guitar work provide the foundation, while Lagerström’s soulful voice and magnetic presence bring a powerful, expressive contrast. Their harmonies and shared lead vocals give the band a sound that is both polished and deeply human, sometimes soaring and expansive, sometimes stripped-down and inviting.
Dave Tate is a seasoned performer and songwriter with over 20 years of professional experience, nine studio albums, and more than 150 performances each year across the Western U.S. and Europe. Often compared to artists like Paul Simon and Jeff Buckley, his classically trained voice and poetic songwriting have earned international praise, including recognition from European music publications for his originality and emotional depth. Tate brings this experience to Many Miles Band, shaping performances that are engaging, intentional, and audience-focused.
The band’s origin story began while Tate was living in Salt Lake City, where he met Victoria Lagerström, a former Miss Sweden and established artist in her own right, who traveled from Stockholm to collaborate on an album. Their creative partnership quickly became a lifelong one, and the couple now resides on California’s Central Coast. Lagerström remains a central force in Many Miles Band, adding soulful lead vocals and a commanding stage presence that elevates the group’s live shows.
Many Miles Band has headlined festivals throughout the Southwest, including Tanner Amphitheater, Highland Fling, Logan Summerfest, Trailfest, and Georgefest. Their latest album, Rising Up, explores themes of resilience, connection, and the transformative power of love. Whether performing at festivals, concert series, or special events, Many Miles Band delivers a vibrant, feel-good experience rooted in strong songs and genuine connection.
““When Lagerström breaks out into a soaring chorus…you might think you’ve never heard a more distinct, memorable voice.” ”
“As some kind of flawless and pure crossover between Paul Simon, Don McLean and Jeff Buckley. As a singer, guitarist and composer, Tate belongs to the best there is.”
