Lead and Back up Vocalist/ Electric and Acoustic Guitarist
Started playing Guitar at age 10 and has been playing continuously for 38+ years.
At age 18, Mitch was playing professionally with a group called...."Birth Right"...The leader of that group was none other than "Buddy King" of the nationally acclaimed group "The Magnificent Men".The keyboardist for that group, "Bob Martin", became the Keyboard/ multi instrumentalist for Frank Zappa.
Mitch studied with Joe Scrowe back in his home town in Philadelphia and has maintained a progressive focus on his musical development.
These days you can find him playing as a primary primate with the South Florida based band "Hot Brass Monkey".
(from Magnificant Men to DisFunktional Primates...Not sure what that's all about...)
Mitch teaches privately, as well as a faculty Guitar intructor for Miami Dade Community Colllege. You can also find him right at home in the S.Fla studio session scene where he functions as a top call player.
