Vlad Miller and Notes From Underground will be performing their new album 'Kurakin's Diary' with story teller and writer Will Browning. Based on real events, the original music and story describes the extraordianary episodes of Fatima’s life from 1917 revolutionary Russia to 1960's contemporary USA.

Born in the Republic of Adygea, in the Causauses, Fatima spent her early life in Krasnordar in Southern Russia. In the early 1920's, she and her family are forced to leave and escape the Russian revolution and the civil war that follows. Thus her journey through immigration begins and during this sudden turmoil meets and marries a Russian aristocrat, Constantine Kurakin. Her life is spent crossing and living in three continents and culminating in her final settling stage when she eventually reaches San Francisco in the USA.
All the music is influenced by jazz, Eastern European folk and contemporary classical, composed by Vladimir Miller and arranged by the band. Story telling is written by Will Browning.
