Chef Mike

"WOW! What a fabulous dinner and evening we were treated to on Saturday! Mike, I can't tell you how much each one of us loved having you as part of our "celebratory last night before our guests left" dinner.....baby Jack included!

You were so fun, so delightful, so charming, AND, a talented chef! We just loved every minute of the time you were here. Your innovative menu was delicious, perfectly balanced, and right for the season....yum, yum, yum!

Your ears had to be burning as compliments were being expressed after you left and yesterday before the big group left. Henry keeps saying it was "genius" to have you, plus he loved having you discuss appropriate wines with him.

All in all, we could not have wished for a better evening! I've already talked to my daughter about booking you when they return with a group, and I'll most definitely want to book you for any return trips.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, Patty T."

Mike Miller - Musician

Mike Miller began performing professionally at the age of 15 and has continued to do so either full-time or part time over the last 36 years. He attended Eastern Illinois University where he majored in jazz performance (trombone). When Mike first launched his career, his musician father's advice to him was, "Son, if you can't be really good, be really versatile." Taking his father's advice to heart, throughout his career, Mike has accomplished both and has played in numerous bands while playing a wide variety of instruments, including drums, keyboard, trombone, guitar and bass. The "constants" throughout Mike's career have been his extraordinary talents as both singer and songwriter.

In December of 1999, Mike met Jake Tatar and the two later formed the Trop Rock band The Boat Drunks. During his career with The Boat Drunks, Mike played bass guitar and sang lead vocals on his own songs. Mike has several hits songs with the band that are his own originals, some of which include the title cut of their first CD "This Ain't Duval Street," fan favorite "Hollow Man," "Wind it up," and "Big in Japan."

In the summer of 2008, Mike retired from The Boat Drunks and moved aboard his sailboat to travel up and down the East Coast from New York City to the Bahamas. During this time, he continued to write new music inspired by his travels and continued to do guest performances with The Boat Drunks at various music festivals and events.

In 2010, Mike felt he had written enough new material to launch his solo career and has now "un-retired" in support of his first CD as a solo artist, which is due for release in September of 2010. More information can be found at his website, www.HollowmanMusic.com
