Seattle based country roots act The Joy Mills Band will release their new EP 'Coming Up' on March 9th. This is the fourth release by the band and they'll be supporting it with shows throughout 2017 including a visit to Europe planned for September. The title track highlights the impressive harmonies of Joy and bassist Tom Parker while Lucien LaMotte adds layers of sprightly guitar twang which all sounds good to me.
