Combining an appreciation for rock, R&B, soul, techno, experimental music, and old-school funk, Craig Mitchell & Motor City is the quintessential modern American band. CMMC has been rapidly gaining attention due to tight arrangements, infectious grooves and hooks, and a live show packed with originals, off-the-cuff instrumentals and spontaneous medleys paying tribute to their influences. This formula inspires an incredible amount of dancing, ensuring time and again that the audience is having as much fun as the band.

cRAIG mITCHELL, internationally renowned DJ and founding member of the chart-topping production team “The Orange Factory,” fathered and cultivated the dance music scene in Burlington, Vermont, recording for Global Underground, Transport, and various other compilations on such labels as Twisted, Kult, Groovin’, Kinetic, V2, Mind Train Records, and more. 

Motor City was formed in March of 2011 in the musical melting pot of Burlington, VT. The band consists of Jake Gold and Tyler Mast (Keyboards), Harrison Shulman (Guitar), Josh Weinstein (Bass), Daiki Hirano (Percussion/Electronic Drums), Dan Ryan (Drums), and cRAIG mITCHELL (Vocals). These experienced road warriors have played at such venues as NYC’s Blue Note, CBGB’s, Brooklyn Bowl, Tunnel and Limelight nightclubs, Burlington’s Discover Jazz Festival and Higher Ground, Miami’s Electronic Music Festival and Twist nightclub, LA’s Spaceland and Knitting Factory, and have traversed the US and entertained international crowds in Canada, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic. Members have shared the stage or studio with Yoko Ono, Manny Ward, The Orange Factory, John Creamer, Anthony Braxton, Masta Ace, Eddie the Gun, Ray Vega, Jennifer Hartswick, Everton Blender, Maria Schneider, and many more. 

The band’s debut album, due to drop in January 2012, features six bangin’ tracks, each more exciting than the last. The project was recorded and mixed by Ben Collette (Phish, Gogol Bordello, Trey Anastasio Band, etc.), and mastered by Fred Kevorkian (The White Stripes, Willie Nelson, Dave Matthews Band, etc.). Buzz is already building around the album’s release.

Mitchell describes his new band as “if Prince, Jamiroquai and the Black Keys had a baby.” According to Dan Bolles, of 7days Newspaper, Burlington, VT, “That’s not terribly far off the mark, actually. But I’ll go a step further and say that Motor City is the kind of music that would be on the hi-fi whilst Prince, Jamiroquai and the Black Keys were making said baby — how’s that mental image?"
