Millard Stillmore


(lead & rhythm diatonics)
Millard
is descended from Scottish Presbyterians on his father's side and Druids on his mother's. His father apprenticed him to a brutal cloth maker in Sparta, New York, at age eleven to learn the cloth-making trade. He left after four months but subsequently took another apprenticeship in the same trade at New Hope, New York. He struggled to obtain an education under oppressive conditions, attending New Hope Academy for six months in 1999. Later that same year, he began to apprentice with Mattias Seydel of Austria, under whom Millard began to study harmonica and the occult arts. He succeeds his predecessor, Zachary "The Tailor" Stillmore. Millard is renown for his extraordinary vocal and instrumental skills as much as for his remarkable stature.
