About
1146 miles is a music blog that was founded in April 2010. It was named after the distance from home when the blog was founded. It serves a personal metaphor for the journey of life. The blog highlights music and intertwines personal stories of the writers into its posts. Here are some of the contributers of 1146 miles. Without them, the site wouldn’t be the same (or nearly as good).
Ian
Ian founded 1146 miles as a way to get through the insufferable grind of law school. He kept it pretty anonymous at first as he is always leery of sharing too much online. Plus, he was heart broken and just needed to say some stuff. Little by little (a great Oasis song by the way), he has broken out of his shell. His interests range from politics to sports to music. If you want to offer him a job in any of those three, he’ll be happy to listen. In the meantime, he’s listening to as much music as he can. You contact Ian several ways.
Meera
Meera lives in the DC area, and had the great pleasure of going to college with DJ Echoes and Ian. Her family is of Indian decent (from India), but she was born in Mississippi and raised in North Carolina. Her career has nothing to do with music, and she thinks she’s a terrible writer. Yet, we still let her write for 1146 miles because she’s a 5 foot, trilingual force to be reckoned with. You can follow her crazy antics via Twitter.
DJ Echoes
DJ Echoes (John, according to that pesky birth certificate) is a hobbyist musician/producer, software engineer, and obsessive music fan. Currently located in the greater Baltimore area, he used to be a DJ on Penn State’s student-run radio station, The Lion 90.7 FM (Tuesday night’s Indie 500 show).
He also enjoys writing about himself in the third person.
Harris
Harris has been a guitarist most of his life, and more recently a songwriter. A New York native, he graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in the spring, where he did some writing for Eleven Music Magazine. Now he is settled in DC, working in politics and writing music whenever he can. Harris listens to a variety of rock and folk, but has recently been a sucker for alternative country. Look forward to some good old rootsy posts from Harris.
Chris
If there’s one genre the posts of 1146 miles were lacking, it was jazz. Chris has filled this void wonderfully and has introduced many timeless and modern classics of the genre while also highlighting techniques and under-recognized masters of the craft.
