About the Artist
Howdy, We are Jared & The Mill. All of us were born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, and we still call it home today. When we first got started in the summer of 2011 we just wanted to play some music with our best buds, play a few shows, and have a good time. Jared and Michael had been buddies and playing music together since they were kids, and after they met up with another childhood duo Josh Morin and Larry Gast III, and connected with Chuck Morris III and Gabe Hall Rodriguez through mutual friends, the band was born. As things go we were soon hammering along in the local scene, playing alongside the bands of new friends and old throughout Arizona.The wheels kept turning, and before we knew it we had over three years of touring under our boots; playing in the living rooms, dive bars, venues, theaters, music festivals, and even arenas of this big ol'country of ours alongside fellow upcoming bands, and with some of the biggest acts we had always looked up to. Playing for fifty people one night in a smokey bar, and the very next night opening up and playing for eighteen thousand in an arena was inspiring, humbling, and eye opening to say the least. Opening up and sharing stages with the likes of Zac Brown Band, Barry Gibb, Boy & Bear, War on Drugs, The Wildfeathers, Cake, Flogging Molly, The Killers, Allen Stone, and others, while touring alongside growing bands just getting their start like us was a real honor. We certainly gained invaluable experience from all those shows and all those trials. Being out there changed our lives, it changed how we thought about things, and it changed how we wrote about things. Life gives to you and it takes...
