Boat Drunks co-founder setting new course after last shows

URBANA – You can take Mike Miller out of The Boat Drunks, but you can't take the boat out of Mike Miller.

Miller is a co-founder of the popular band, which travels the country performing Jimmy Buffett songs and its own brand of island rock. And his last local show is Thursday at StreetFest '08, which takes place in the parking lot behind the Highdive in downtown Champaign. The Boat Drunks will perform three sets – at 8, 9:30 and 11 p.m.
