“I got up the nerve and went to Athens, and I just took a deep breath, and suggested the idea of Mike writing a concerto for violin and rock band. He said, ‘I’ve already got a tune.'” ~ world-renowned Violinist Robert McDuffie on the impetus for working with Mike on the Mills-composed Concerto for Violin, Rock Band and String Orchestra
Mike, McDuffie, and Chuck Leavell (Rolling Stones) will be touring this September for “A Night of Georgia Music” where they’ll perform the songs of some of Georgia’s most beloved artists, including Ray Charles • The Allman Brothers Band • Outkast • Gram Parsons • Gregg Allman • R.E.M. • Gladys Knight and the Pips • Brook Benton • Otis Redding • James Brown… and more.
