ABOUT
Casa Con Tiki is the private home of Cliff and Carin Miller. They are located in the beautiful town of Tehachapi, California, in the community of Stallion Springs. Cliff and Carin have been long-time supporters of independent music. They want to share their love of different types of music with their friends and neighbors and have decided to jump into house concert hosting. The concept of house concerts appeals to Cliff and Carin as it allows you to hear the stories behind the songs and to get to know the artist better in an intimate listening environment. Our venue is open to Trop-Rock, Country, Jazz, and Folk-Americana music genres, to name a few.
​

The Landlocked Sailor
Some of my favorite memories are of sitting around a campfire on a beach in Kansas while my dad played the guitar and sang. The moonlight, the stars, and the fire all danced together on the water, while the rest of us danced on the sand.
There was some country, a little classic rock, and a whole lot of Jimmy Buffett. Years later, when I picked up my own guitar, I could feel all those influences come through me in the music I played and the stories I told.
Whether it’s a song about life, love, or the lack of, I want to take listeners to their own place where worries fade and solutions become more clear. I may not be able to make problems disappear, but as the Landlocked Sailor I do know how to find a beach, even in the middle of Kansas!
No matter where the road leads, I'll always have sand in my boots...
Southern Rockin' Country with a twist of lime, a splash of salt water, and distilled in the backwoods of Tennessee...yep, that about sums it up!
Mike has spent well over a decade on the road-touring the US, Caribbean,
Mexico and Central America-and building a grass roots fanbase for his original music. With story teller songs about life and love, lyrical tales from the unique people he's met along the way, and of course plenty of summertime "drinkin' at the lake tunes" with an island-inspired twist, there's something in a Mike Nash show for everyone to relate to.
Mike's music has been used in television programs on stations such as GAC and CMT and he is one of the featured performers in the 2016 Mailboat Records release of "Parrotheads the Documentary". He also appears for a musical cameo in the Hollywood feature film "Chasing The Sun" -both available on Amazon Prime.

At the end of the show, everyone eats!
Bill Wharton is a powerhouse entertainer, mixing his Bluesy slide guitar and soulful voice into an unforgettable, high energy show. His very own hot sauce spices up a big pot of gumbo while he spices up the show with his own original Blues. It’s a soul-shouting picnic of Rock and Roll brotherhood, with the audience stirring the pot, and at the end of the show, everyone eats.
Sauce Boss brings his signature gumbo show and original Florida swampy blues to the Casa Con Tiki stage.
Jimmy Buffett sings about him in “I Will Play for Gumbo”. Wharton’s anthem, “Let the Big Dog Eat” was included on Buffett’s “Late Night Menu at the Margaritaville Cafe” album. Albert Castiglia released his cover of the tune, and it hit #1 on blues charts. Let the Big Dog Eat has also appeared in the movies “Something Wild” (Jonathon Demme), and the Rock Doc, “Jimmy Carter Rock and Roll President.” This tune and sixteen other works in the documentary earned Wharton “‘Best Original Score” from the Los Angeles Film Awards.
