The Maker's Mile is what happened when four close friends from the Chico, CA area combined each of their unique musical backgrounds and influences to revolutionize a fusion of their individual styles dubbed by some as "FunkHop." A mix of funk, rock, reggae and hip-hop. The Maker's Mile has ben described as if you threw Sublime in a blender with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and maybe a cup of yogurt and two vitamin boosters... The Maker's Mile is a high energy group of California natives with the sole purpose of writing positive, original music designed to lift you up, make you dance and make her smile...
Interestingly enough there's nothing like The Maker's Mile. They are a solid rhythmic machine with four part harmonies and hard hitting lyrics.
The members include Rob (Dess Fivethousand) Gorman, Hogan (Hogie Bear) Byrd, Kevin (Blender) Berg, and Evin (Chivo) Duggins.
The Band was founded August 19th, 2013. The Makers Mile played its first gig October 12th 2013. After having been well recieved at their debut show, and a string of subsequent shows, they quickly became a Chico staple. The Maker's Mile was invited to record their first album at Asia Entertainment in Garden Grove, CA. and was released September of 2014. The self titled album release show was also designed to be a food drive where three oversized totes were filled and donated to the Chico community. Although The Maker's Mile has opened up for bands such as Saving Abel and Coolio, they're passion is producing shows under their label Groove Kitchen Productions.
The Four Piece Alternative Funk Hip-hop band is beginning the be heard across the North West. Three months after the album release 106.7 Z-Rock 'The noise of Nor-Cal" placed the song "Greed" in regular rotation. In April 2015 The Maker's Mile was selected to be the house band for the event Chico Breaks The Record a concert that lasted 24 hours a day for 34 days. The band played six scheduled shows and many more spontaneous sets at the event including a special guest appearance by Coolio.
The album is now available for purchase at the store.
