  • Bio

    .. Tommy Mills has a true gift. A musical prowess that transcends any simple formulaic music on the radio nowadays. Not interested in falling into lines of conformity, Tommy's band, The Jade Amenity would like to take it to that next level and reach their music to the masses. Their dynamic live show has developed them a great fan-base that loves to see them perform. The music comes from a very personal and explicit place. Exploring different facets of the human experience, the lyrics show a honest and unique approach to an Alternative, Psychedelic rock. Tommy's philosophy to writing music is, "Play and write how you Feel. Not what you were told to feel." His influences range from; The Smashing Pumpkins, The Beatles, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Jimi Hendrix, Radiohead, Lou Reed, Nirvana, Tim Buckley, Jeff Buckley and many more. His versatile range of personal influences in conjunction with his own life experiences produce an individuality that is refreshing to the redundant material recycled through the radio. A true and legitimate passion for music is what drives Tommy Mills to write everyday. His expansive catalog of music is impressive and elaborate. A melting pot of various styles of music, that will remain timeless and continue to grow into an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. The Jade Amenity is an experience that is unique for all those who come in contact with the band!
