About Me

LU MITCHELL is lead vocalist and songwriter for Catch-23 .
As a solo performer she is also one of the busiest funny ladies on the music circuit and has appeared in concert at churches, universities, and corporate events throughout the United States. Additionally, she has performed for children in concert and on television. Click here for Lu’s complete schedule including listings of solo and private events.
With Catch-23 she is a local favorite and consistent crowd-pleaser at Uncle Calvin’s Coffeehouse, Poor David’s Pub, and the Pocket Sandwich Theatre, her "home base" these days.
Lu began her music career in the 1960s at the now legendary Rubaiyat in Dallas, Texas. Since then, she has shared the stage with The Kingston Trio, Tom Paxton, John Prine, Carolyn Hester, Ronnie Gilbert, Holly Near, and many other name acts.
Lu Mitchell has released more than a dozen albums and has published a songbook called SINGING FOR HER SANITY , now in its third edition.
How Catch-23 got its name: Lu and Drake met in 1986 and decided to form a band. They named it after CATCH-22 , the bestselling novel by American author Joseph Heller.
