R.J. Mills is another native of Los Angeles with an ancestral background rooted deeply in the Southwest. His Mother, a classical concert soprano and father, a piano player are both from the great cowboy state of Texas.
His constant exposure to music flavored with the Southwestern background of his family make him a perfect addition to the Tumbling Tumbleweeds. The music is in his blood and it flows through him with no effort at all. To put it in his words, “It’s not enough just to know the words and music of these songs you have to have the feeling for them in your heart.”
R.J., a very well rounded musician, has been playing guitar since childhood. He has studied many genres from jazz to folk and everything in between and is equally adept at both rhythm and lead guitar.
