"Hanging Tree" by Thawind Mills.

For over 20 years, native Texan singer/songwriter and instrumentalist, THAWIND MILLS has been writing and performing his own style of musical entertainment. His choice of material encompasses an incredibly eclectic range of musical styles from rock to reggae, blues, metal, and funk, to 50's doo wop. His passion to explore different genres, and his way to tease out sweet melodies brings to mind other talented and ambitious artists: Bob Marley, Joe Satriani, Bootsy Collins, Keith Whitley, Ry Cooder and Ritchie Valens.

"Prolific" is an adjective that easily describes Thawind; he has 4 albums to his credit, including an original song catalog in the hundreds, and collaborations galore.

A recent writing whirlwind has produced two full length love song acoustic albums in production now, and expecting a mid 2014 release. His advancement to round two in the 4th annual Rusty Wier Singer/Songwriter Competition has clearly shown his home is the stage, and his satisfaction is an entertained audience.
