Former NY Folk Duo Reboots Into Popular, Brit-Inspired, Alt Folk Rock Band From Coachella Valley!
This currently successful band has many thousands of fans from all over the world, thanks to their strong online presence. Their debut album, "The World Is Getting Colder" was critically hailed by music critics and listeners alike. An all-star production, Old Sand Mill was joined by Brian Wilson (The Beach Boys); Jerry Douglas (Alison Krauss & Union Station, Earls of Leicester); Gabriel Witcher (Punch Brothers); Darryl Jones (The Rolling Stones); r&b legend, Deniece Williams; Earl Mankey (Concrete Blonde); Rick Boston (Low Pop Suicide); and Paul Simon. As folk singers, the band's formerly was known as Reynolds and Miller, and opened as well as toured with Simon, who was set to produce their first album, when the duo split up because one became a Scientologist and clashed with everyone in the studio. When Michael Reynolds of Scotland, and Irish American, Chip Miller, from New Jersey, split up, Miller vaulted their two dozen songs - all gems. After Miller moved to Hollywood to become a known film director and writer, as well as an award-winning music video and live TV concert. In the mid-2000's, Miller revisited the material, rewrote and rebooted some of the more timeless songs, and was inspired to start writing songs again. In 2018, Miller and his celebrity line-up created "The World Is Getting Colder" - filled with folk, rock, country, and a few psychedelic epics. Miller reincarnated the band's name as OLD SAND MILL - derived from the original reynOLDS AND MILLer group name. In 2022, the band released their second album, "The Example" to strong reviews and fan reactions to a more Celtic alt rock sound. The band's music has been licensed for radio, TV, and two upcoming 2022 movies. Miller and his band mates live between the desert and Burbank.
