Familiar songs. Unexpected transformations. Each project has its own personality, but all are built on musical curiosity and connection.
Two musicians. One familiar song. A completely new route into it.
Drawn from the Under the Covers songbook, PB&Jams is the stripped-down musical conversation between Brent Thomas Mills on piano and Dave Ostrem on upright bass. Rock, pop, soul, Latin music, film themes and standards become the starting point for jazz harmony, groove, rhythmic displacement, space, and improvisation.
Song titles are never announced in advance. As Brent and Dave discover new ways into the melody, the audience discovers what they're hearing. The title comes only after the performance.
Ideal for: Listening rooms, jazz clubs, galleries, theaters, private events, arts presenters and house concerts. Developed as an intimate 45–60-minute core set.
An expressive piano, voice, and upright-bass trio bringing familiar repertoire to life through jazz sophistication, spontaneity, and an unmistakable human connection.

Music & Movement You Know To Help You Let Go.
Resonance is an immersive live piano experience designed around music, breath, mindful movement, meditation and release. Familiar musical ideas become a bridge into reflection and relaxation — less like a conventional class or concert, more like a space to soften, reset and reconnect. Developed with Wayne Eng and Dance Vision Studios, the concept blends live meditative piano and a warm, intimate environment.

For more than 25 years, Brent Thomas Mills has been a creative force in international Ballroom and DanceSport: producing, directing and composing music for major competitions, recordings, and orchestral productions. A pianist, percussionist, arranger and producer, he combines precision, musical imagination and a command of live performance.
His television work includes a lead designer/consultant credit for FOX's So You Think You Can Dance and music coordination for PBS's America's Ballroom Challenge. As a performer, he has appeared across all 50 U.S. states and on stages throughout Europe, Asia, Oceania and the Americas.
His international engagements range from historic ballrooms in Vienna to Culture Club Revelin, a nightclub within Dubrovnik's medieval fortress used as a filming location for HBO's Game of Thrones. At Dubrovnik's Adriatic Pearl event, Brent was photographed alongside Mary Murphy of So You Think You Can Dance. His other appearances include London, Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, Helsinki, Tallinn, St. Petersburg, Salzburg and New Zealand.
With a background at Berklee College of Music and Brigham Young University, Brent's current live portfolio includes Under the Covers, PB&Jams, The Thomas Mills Trio, RESONANCE, and Brent Thomas Mills & His Orchestra. Each is built around one belief: music should move the room, not merely fill it.
