About Me

Chris Mills is a roving troubadour, wandering the countryside kicking ass and taking names. He is also a Leo and enjoys holding hands and going to the movies.

This is what people are saying about his new record, THE WALL TO WALL SESSIONS :

"The most gorgeous piece of chamber pop released this year." - Atlanta Journal & Constitution

"The strongest album of Mills’ career, as well as a testament to the communal spirit of Chicago’s indie-rock underground." - Jim DeRogatis - Chicago Sun Times

"Mills is dead earnest about simulating the sound of Southern rock and soul in the days before elaborate overdubbing, and he succeeds remarkably well." - The Washington Post

Chris supports Barack Obama for President
