VOMA Folk/Bluegrass Series Presents: THE MIKE MITCHELL BAND

  • The Venue of Merging Arts 305 Chestnut St Johnstown, PA, 15906 United States (map)

VOMA welcomes back Mike Mitchell, a contemporary bluegrass force delivering effortless vocals, deeply resonant songwriting, and virtuosic fiddling.  

Influenced by legends like 70’s J.D Crowe and The New South, Tony Rice, and Sam Bush, Mike has carved his own distinctive sound, evidenced by his impressive discography. His album "Small Town" debuted at #2 on Billboard, and "Fathers & Sons" dominated the Bluegrass Unlimited charts for over a year, spawning three #1 singles. Mike’s band includes his son James Michael Mitchell on guitar and fiddle, Jarod Houseman, upright bass and Sydney Christian on mandolin and vocals

This summer, brace yourself for "Love Songs, Torch & Bluegrass," a highly anticipated album produced by the multi-award-winning Opry star, Darin Aldridge. Mike's electrifying live shows are renowned for their high energy and chart-topping bluegrass and fiddle tunes, earning him the description "Original Music with a Traditional Flavor" from Tim White of Song Of The Mountains.

 Beyond the stage, Mike is a nationally recognized educator, leading engaging workshops that empower musicians. He also heads the influential IBMA Songwriters Committee and Mentorship Program, fostering the next generation of bluegrass talent.

 From his early Suzuki violin days to his current collaborations with bluegrass icons like Wyatt Rice, Jarrod Walker, Darin Aldridge, Mark Schatz and Sammy Shelor, Mike Mitchell has dedicated his life to mastering his craft. Whether tearing it up on stage or sharing his passion through teaching, Mike brings an undeniable energy and commitment to every note. Catch him on tour and experience the magic!
