Born in Dallas, TX to a musical family, Pete Miller was fascinated at an early age with music. Son of a mother who played ragtime guitar and the blues legend Texas Slim, he felt like coming home the first time he heard Lightnin' Hopkins. His first work as a musician began at 14 years old playing gospel music in North Texas. After that, he began working as a dance musician for Texas Women's University. He released an EP with psychedelic rock group Achtöne! in 2011 and has done studio work on several country and roots albums. In 2012, he joined his father's group the Texas Slim Band. 

He has had the honor of sharing the stage with Texas Slim, Pops Carter, Bobby Patterson,, Zac Harmon, Lou Hampton, Jackie Don Loe, Jason Elmore, Jim Suhler, Mike Morgan, Pat Boyak and other great blues artists. He has performed at Bedford Blues Festival, Denton Blues Festival, 35 Denton, the legendary Poor David's Pub, Gas Monkey Live, and the Texas Theater. He has been on the bill with Dr. John, Jimmie Vaughan, John Mayall, Buddy Guy, and Bernard Allison.

Son Slim is a blues lover through and through. He is an avid coffee drinker, record and book collector, and is happily married. He holds a degree from the University of North Texas and lives in the small town of Denton, TX. In 2016, he took the moniker "Son Slim," because as he puts it, "Blues is more than music, it's our heritage. I learned the ropes from my father [Texas Slim], and so I'm going to tribute his name as I go out and make the next generation's version of the blues."
