About Me

With a sound that resembles Bonnie Raitt, Carol King and Roberta Flack Gretchen Mitchell is coming into her own with a fresh new sound from the Neo/Pop/Soul genre. Gretchen’s career started during grade school with her first big gig performing at a wedding!Gretchen has continued to grow as a vocalist performing throughout the years with various groups as both a background singer as well as a featured vocalist. Gretchen has had the opportunity to perform & record with many notable NW musicians Norman Sylvester, Liv Warfield, Patrick Lamb, Richard Arnold & The Groove Singes, and The “Tribute To Ray Charles” band featuring 25 notable NW musicians in an All-star tribute to the legendary singer Ray Charles. A highlight in Gretchen’s career this last year was opening for the Oregon Symphony Pops Season with A Tribute To Ray Charles, at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.Gretchen continues to perform through the NW and her energetic presence gives delight to the many that come to see her. Her passionate personality is characteristic in her movements on stage and she works the audience with her dynamic approach to her music. This is one vocalist who’s star is on the rise!
