Love for singing began early for this Mississippi native. As a child, Lisa sang gospel in the church her grandparents built. Her love for music and singing came to include playing guitar, as well as a deep aopreciation for country, soul, blues, and R&B. Her eclectic stylings have landed Mills on stages “from Mississippi to Manchester.”

–Blues in the Northwest, Grahame Rhodes, (Jan 03, 2015)

 

Proceeds will be a fundraiser for our prison ministry, with everything received at the door, net of our expenses, going to help with the costs our monthly inmate newsletter and to help with transition issues of individuals working to re-enter society in a positive contributing manner.

About the Back Door Coffeehouse

Back Door Coffeehouse logoUniversity Baptist Church has served as the host of the monthly Back Door Coffeehouse since 1992. The Back Door is a unique ministry to the community where local writers, musicians, and poets are featured in an intimate and relaxed candlelight and coffee atmosphere.

The Back Door is typically held on the first Friday of every month from 7:30 – 9:30P.M. There is no charge for admission, although donations for soft drinks, candy, coffee, and other costs are appreciated. Periodically, various nationally-known musicians and performers are secured by donations from patrons and neighborhood sponsors for special concerts to promote this unique artistic venue to a larger audience. Such acclaimed recording artists as Kate Campbell, Pierce Pettis, Spooner Oldham, Tom Kimmel, Caroline Herring, Tracy Grammer, and Steve Forbert have graced our stage. But we are also proud to promote the talents of our own local and regional musicians and writers.

Our performers often portray a wide variety of ideas and styles. However, in supporting the open and honest artistic expression of our neighbors, there will, at times, be some readings neither intended nor appropriate for children. Childcare is provided for parents of young children without charge.
