Alternative Country-rock
Obadiah is a three-piece band with a sound that’s grounded in songwriter independent rock, yet fringes country-folk sounds. This Alternative Country-Rock barebones, three-piece sound lends itself to simple and uncluttered, rhythm section arrangements. This makes the songs themselves really
These three guys from Northeast Georgia play a repertoire of classic Songwriter, Rock, Americana, Alt. Country, and Country-Rock songs picked from great music over the ages. Obadiah is Alternative. They are Country. And they quite simply rock!
Obadiah is j. Christian Miller on Lead Guitar and Vocals. Bill Purvis on Bass Guitar and Vocals. And Eric Miller on Drums and Vocals.

j. Christian Miller, guitar and vocals
Along with great cover songs, Obadiah blends in a mix of original alternative country rock songs. Singer/Songwriter and guitarist for the band, j. Christian Miller has a long history in the Underground, Independent College scene of the 1980s and 90s. Obadiah’s sound is unapologetically confounded with Chris’s stylistic bent.
William Purvis, bass and vocals

Bill has also sung in numerous choirs and ensembles, usually in a church settings ear the years.
While serving as music director, his church had a need to start a worship band. Bill was volunteered to learn and play electric bass. Over the next five years, he has studied bass and got great fast! He still plays for the church band, but enjoys the variety of music that Obadiah presents. Bill enjoys all styles of music (Bill especially loves listening to rap music while water-sliding at his favorite water park! Go figure!)
