Mill Town
Santa Clarita, CA | Established. Jan 01, 2012
Bio
Just like the ancestors who were the inspiration, Mill Town is a melting pot of American experiences and flavors. Celtic in its roots, Mill Town traces the steps of the Irish immigrants settling in the industrial towns of the East Coast, living on a dollar a day with a head full of the American Dream. Through the generations, these experiences take different shapes as the descendants find their own immigration stories, from those textile towns to the big city and across the nation. The songs cover a range of styles: the plaintive American wake song "The Hills of Copper" dripping with its Irish melancholy to the bouncy pub song "Foolish Heart". And the band is steeped in the tradition of the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, bring all those beloved Irish drinking songs in their back pocket. They may occasionally bring a tear to the eye, but Mill Town is all about the fun!
