Biography

“I was born to Elvis and Shirley Mills in 1965 under the sign of the Aries. Dad was an avid singer guitarist who gave me my start at pickin’ early on. His roots were in the hills and hollers music of Missouri during the great depression. It wasn’t unusual to see a good old jug player huffin’ and puffin’ in our living room from time to time.

I’ve covered a gamut of genres throughout the years since then, but find I’ve come full circle back to the type of songs I first learned. Songs that tell a story of our common experience in this life, whether it be good or bad. These type songs are the roots of music. Long Live Our Roots!” – Lee Mills
