With 6 CD’s to his credit, 7 top 20 songs in Europe from 2008 to 2010, a number 1 song in Belgium in 2009, a music video in Australia, and more loyal fans than you can shake a stick at, Wayne Mills has built a solid foundation and is gaining momentum every day.
Wayne Mills, who hails from the rural town of Arab, Alabama, was raised on values of a working man. His father, Jack Mills, instilled many honorable qualities and traits during Wayne’s upbringing. One of those lessons being, “Anything worth Having Is worth Working For.”
Wayne has worked hard. He was a two sport athlete in college, playing baseball at Wallace State Junior College (Hanceville, AL) and football at The University of Alabama, while earning his Bachelor of Science degree in Education. The discipline and determination he learned from his father and sports, has carried over into his music career. Wayne has toured non-stop, year ‘round, since he graduated college and made a life for himself and his family. He has done most of the booking and promotion for his band from his home and has done an incredible job keeping the wheels turning on his career.
Standing 6’4”, Wayne towers the stage. The second he walks out he’s got everyone’s attention and he befriends each and every person in the audience. He has the absolute best rapport with his fans. Wayne comments, “The folks that come to my show are hard working people spending they’re hard earned money and I intend to give them their money’s worth. They have expectations and I want to deliver. My fans are the back bone of my career and they deserve the very best performance I can give them. I’m very grateful to have them come see me and I don’t want to let them down.”
With the release of his sixth CD, “The Last Honky Tonk,” Wayne is more excited and more driven than ever before. Wayne states, “I have never had so many people get behind me and believe in what I’m doing. It’s so refreshing to have a great team that works just as hard, if not harder, than I do to get my music out there.”
Wayne’s latest record, “The Last Honky Tonk,” is receiving rave reviews and it is sure to be a catapult in Wayne’s music career. Jason “Rowdy” Cope, Jamey Johnson’s guitar player, flew Wayne to Hollywood, CA to record and produce “The Last Honky Tonk.” “The record that we left California with is as true to me as anything I’ve ever released,” says Wayne. “It blends my country roots with the experience of the real world I’ve come to know.”
The sound … Start with Waylon, throw in some Charlie Daniels and Lynyrd Skynyrd, add a dash of Johnny Cash and mix it all up. That’s “The Last Honky Tonk,” and that’s Wayne Mills in a nutshell.
