Hey, I'm the guitarist/mandolinist/bassist... for our band Old Sand Mill. We are very influenced by The Beatles and the music that surrounded their careers. We created a concept album to bring back that wonderful period of music, but with a new spin (to keep it interesting). I would love to hear any comments you Beatles Fans may have on our music. The greatest compliment to a musician is to be listened to. (the only thing I could think of better would be to be listened to by a Beatle)

“SHP Records/Universal Music intriguing new artist, Old Sand Mill, an alternative folk rock Brit-influenced band comprised of Coachella Valley songwriters/musicians Chip Miller and Janaki, has made an impressive debut with their ambitious and beautiful new album, “The World Is Getting Colder.” The songs are catchy, edgy, hypnotic, acid-like trippy, gorgeous, silly, deep, spiritual, haunting, sad, happy, scary, full of warning, loss, and in the end – simple and bittersweet hope for peace and love. This is worth a listen. Perhaps we need a little more John Lennon and Gandhi in this cold new technological world of isolation and disconnect.”

“If you dig Crosby, Stills & Nash, Donovan, Yes, Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys, and Simon & Garfunkel, with a dash of Beck and Radiohead, then you will dig Old Sand Mill’s debut work, ‘The World Is Getting Colder.’ This well-produced album pays homage to a wide range of classic and contemporary influences and dares to move effortlessly from one genre to another, with fun and intriguing original tunes penned by singer/songwriter and longtime film and music video director Chip Miller, along with his decades younger band mate, Janaki, a multi-talented musician and composer. They are joined by some incredible, well known backing musicians, and numerous guest artists like the iconic Brian Wilson, as well as multi-Grammy winners Jerry Douglas (Alison Krauss & Union Station), Darryl Jones of The Rolling Stones, r&b legend Deneice Williams, the late Howie Wyeth who played piano and drums with Bob Dylan for years, Gabe WItcher (Van Morrison, Beck & Steve Martin's Deep Canyon Rangers), the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, and many more. This one’s worth the journey, people. It’s like going to the movies through the spell of song. MS says check it out.”
PEACE!!!
