Performing artist looking for connections wherever I go.

Mitch is a singer, guitar player, and harmonica player who started playing with his family's bluegrass band at 14. Mitch is a recent graduate from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in philosophy, but before college, he spent three years as a full-time traveling blues entertainer performing at venues and festivals across several states. 
 
Some notable events played by Mitch include Clarksdale Juke Joint Festival in Clarksdale, MS, Steel City Blues Festival in Pittsburgh, and the Kentucky Kickdown in Lewisville, KY. Also, Mitch has performed at venues in both Nashville and Memphis, TN, and was a house band member for the Memphis-based airline Southern Airways.
 
In March 2021, he started Operation Good Vibes, a live music initiative. At the time, COVID-19 was still on people's minds, and live music events were limited. The intention was to mimic curbside food pickup, except it would be curbside music. The idea was simple: set up on a street corner, play music to whoever would listen, and hopefully make a couple of people smile. 

Since then, Mitch has given over 300 performances for the initiative. Operation Good Vibes has brought music to thousands of people in 30 communities in NW PA and was featured in several regional newspapers, radio broadcasts, Erie News Now broadcast, and the WQLN: Our Town series.
