   John McMillan: General Info
Member Since5/1/2005
Band Websitejohnmcmillan.com
Band MembersI'm a solo artist, but I do consistently play with the same great musicians: Stephen Baker (guitar, drums, steel, piano, BGVs) and Brad Willenberg (bass, BGVs). Some of us get along all of the time, most of us get along some of the time, but ALL of us can't get along ALL of the time! Nevertheless, Steve and Brad are some of the best and most talented players in the business, as well as some of my closest friends.
Influences(see "Bio")--However, I will say of the aforementioned artists that E.P. and Bobby D. are the biggest influences on my sound.
Sounds LikeIf Country, Blues, and Contemporary Rock'n'Roll walked into a bar and got into a fistfight, no one would win, but my music would be the most sufficient soundtrack for the hyperbolic brawl.

   About John McMillan
John McMillan grew up in rural Florida, singing and playing music for as long as he can remember. "I'd been in several bands with a modicum of local celebrity by the time I graduated from high school," says John, "I'd been in several more bands by the time I graduated from college." McMillan grew up on Elvis, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, Lefty Frizell, and Johnny Cash, and hopes that somehow this healthy diet of early rock'n'roll, country, blues, and other forms of "folk" music are reflected in the songs that he's writing today. He has played hundreds of shows throughout the southeast, as well as many very intimate performances a little further up the east coast in New York City (which can be quite different from playing the "world famous" Tootsie's in Nashville, TN.) John McMillan has also recorded with some of today's hottest session players, including musician/producer Michael Ramos (John Mellencamp, Patti Griffin, the Bo Deans, the Rembrandts) and famed slide-guitarist Billy Cassis (Charlie Sexton, Double Trouble). Recently, John has written several songs with Stan Lynch (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Don Henley, Tim McGraw) and Billy Chapin (award-winning writer/producer, session/touring guitarist for international acts such as Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears). After all of these accomplishments, and though only a few years removed from his days of studying English and Film Theory at the University of Florida, a period which also helped to shape and inform the poetry of his sound, John McMillan continues to make his mark on the music industry. As he does, we promise to keep you posted.

Hello John, We should definitely get together and make some music. I have all these originals to put on plastic, and the songs are just waisting away in memory. Neil and I are at Sachuel's tonight, hope you could make it by and sing a few with us. We start around six and end around nine, depending on the crowd, hope to see you there.

John McMillan and Friends were awesome last night at the Downtown Plaza. I am seriously regretting not staying the 2nd hour. That girl who sings with you is amazing. Ya'll sound great together because you both have such powerful voices.
Jim Evans was cool too with his dobro. (I don't know if I spelled that right.) The other guys were cool, too.
"Chained" was off the chain. The best I've ever heard it.
You have got to play in Gainesville more--please!
Your Friends,
Mary & Matt
