Over the past two decades, Miller has become one of the leading talent buyers and live event promoters in New Jersey and New York City, specializing in shows at small to mid-size venues.

“I look forward to helping establish Jersey City as a destination for live music and a tour stop for bands,” said Miller. “I hope a venue of this size will help further spark the great talents coming out of Jersey City and will help grow the local music community.”
Originally constructed in 1910, White Eagle Hall is an impressive new stage for performing arts, concerts and other events in the New York/New Jersey Metropolitan area. White Eagle Hall has a capacity of 800 standing, features two bars on the mezzanine level and one on the balcony level. The restoration enhances the intimacy and charm of this historic venue while adding the latest in sound and lighting technology, creating a distinctive and memorable audience experience.
“White Eagle Hall is an exceptional stage for the performing arts that will bring together a diverse audience throughout this region,” said Ben LoPiccolo, CEO, White Eagle Hall. “Heath has an array of music knowledge and industry contacts as well as a deep understanding of the types of concerts and other events that will appeal to all the communities throughout the area.”
For Miller, a New Jersey native and life-long music lover, his live music education actually began in the studio. As a high school student he landed a recording studio internship, which soon led to sound technician gigs for live performances all over New Jersey. Live sound engineering segued into booking and promoting shows for a variety of venues – ranging from skating rinks and legion halls to bars and clubs – throughout New Jersey and New York City. In 1999, Miller founded Excess dB Entertainment, a concert promotion company booking national and international touring acts throughout the metropolitan market.
While the initial bookings are primarily indie, punk and alternative rock at White Eagle Hall, Miller promises that as more dates are announced, area audiences will soon be in for many surprises. “The programming will be even more diverse in the near future” Miller said. “With Jersey City being such a diverse community, it’s important to bring in a wide range of talent.
