 Gene and Gayla Mills
Richmond
Virginia, United States
Americana / Contemporary Folk
Gene and Gayla Mills play acoustic Americana—modern folk tinged with bluegrass and country, featuring Gene’s award-winning original songs. They offer “some of the best organic music you could hope to come across,” (Chris Specter, Midwest Record).
Their new CD, If Stones Could Talk” reached #5 on the Roots Music Folk Chart (Nov-Jan) and #11 on the Folk DJ chart in August. “Talking to a Stone,” which has already won two first place songwriting awards, reached #9 on the Folk DJ Chart.
Gene’s songs tell rich stories, many based on real people--miners, farmers, lovers, and soldiers. His first CD Waiting for Rain garnered nationwide airplay, and he has won over a dozen country and folk songwriting awards. Gene is also an accomplished flatpicking guitarist.
Gayla’s bass playing, solid, rhythmic, and melodic, is accompanied by harmonies tender and sweet. She is also the driving force behind the recording and promotion of Gene’s songs, which he first began writing and performing in the late 1970s.
On their recent release If Stones Could Talk they are joined by Bill Evans (banjo), Ivan Rosenberg (dobro), Jim Skelding (fiddle), and Barry Lawson (mandolin.)
Their influences include Townes Van Zandt, Claire Lynch, Crooked Still, Alison Kraus, Nickel Creek, Si Kahn, and Robin and Linda Williams.
