About Me

Prairie born and raised, the music of Kevin Mitchell is now coming out on the west coast of Canada. 2006 marks the year of Kevins debut album All The Way hits the road across B.C. and Canada. After years of fronting various Folk/Roots Dance bands, Kevin has taken some time to launch his solo career. Kevin writes, sings, and plays songs with guitar, mandolin, and harmonicas, in the vein of Country meets Roots. Combine that with a strong sense of the blues and you get driving fence-smashing rhythms that can stop on a dime. A finger picking style that plays the band. Kevin's music is best experienced live, with a sense of rhythm and groove in his performance, that tickles the musical soul within. As a sideman on guitar and mandolin, Kevin has performed with a wide variety of artists that include Ken Hamm, Willie P Bennett, Michelle Shocked, Corinne West, Gayle Ferguson, Fishead Stew, Pancho & Sal, Valdy, Birgit, and many more! Think John Hiatt jammin with Fred Eaglesmith, this music is original as it gets. " A groove that gels with the very best of Roots/Rock" crow and wolf music.Please have a listen to some tunes on this page. If you like them, there are more free samples on my website. I try to include lyrics when possible, and will add the chord charts soon!And if you like me, add me,send me, play me, babyPlease check out my website, and if you like what you hear and see, & join my musical updates mailing list hope to see you soon!You just do your thing, present yourself your way, and you'll be fine." - ALAN LIGHT"MUSIC SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS"km/06 Get Your Own! | View Slideshow I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
