Milen Performing at The Gem, September 10, 2022.

BIO

Milen is an Indie/alternative group formed by David Dracha in 2018. Initially created as a solo project, it progressively branched out to include other full-time collaborators such as Jacob Pleva and Graham Gernerd. Throughout the several years of the band's existence, Milen has released 2 full-length albums and 2 E.Ps as well as performed several well-known spots in Pennsylvania, such as Philly's The Fire and most recently West Reading's Art on the Avenue festival.

Across the two albums, 2019's (Self-Titled) and 2021's Roland Park, Milen demonstrates a sound rich in texture and melody, alongside thought-provoking lyrics. As collaborators, the band is always trying to experiment with new ideas whilst keeping a familiar sound. This is best demonstrated on the recent Abilene E.P, released in April of 2023 which embraced the genre of alt-country, introducing slide-guitars and banjos, meanwhile maintaining melodies and structure that reference back to their earlier works. ​

As a performing act, Milen can adapt to almost any live setting. Whether it be an acoustic solo performance by David, a stripped-back acoustic performance by the full band, or a traditional high-energy rock performance with electric guitars, Milen looks to put on an unforgettable experience for anyone who is willing to listen.
