Mile 9 formed in 2010 when four friends decided to fuse their favorite sounds into something fresh: the groove of funk, the pulse of rock, and the laid-back sway of reggae. The lineup — Matt Moats (guitar & keys), Will Eskew (vocals & lead guitar), Kyle Howell (drums), and Jeff Poland (bass) — brings a mix of tight rhythms, melodic hooks, and just-enough grit to keep things interesting. Whether they’re driving a dance floor or slowing it down for a soulful break, Mile 9’s music blends energy and vibe in a way that keeps fans moving and guessing what’s coming next.
