It began on the bald headed prairies, when at the age of 12 he was given an ancient guitar and was booked in for lessons at Sigs Guitar Studio in Regina, Sask. The decision to take music seriously began later in life, when a move to northern Saskatchewan immersed him into the local folk scene, where live music was a daily ritual, and large musical circles went far into the night. He mentored under the many talented musicians in the area, like Humphrey & The Dumptrucks and Crooked Creek, discovering the gift of acoustic folk music.
After years of fronting various dance bands on Denman island B.C, Kevin has taken some time to launch his solo career, taking these gifts to a new level, communicating passionately with his own voice and style. He plays a variety of venues on Vancouver Island, and is in the process of booking B.C tours and festivals, hoping to get wider exposure with music fans and the music industry. His early musical influences include Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead, Muddy Waters, and The Rolling Stones, among others. His sound lies somewhere between Fred J Eaglesmith, John Hiatt, Lyle Lovett and Jack Johnson. He communicates his music confidently, with humor and passion, on the highest caliber of handcrafted instruments, and with the help of his ‘Boss Loop Station’, Kevin is able to feature his lead playing in his solo performance, giving it a full multi-dimensional flavour.
It is just a matter of time before his new CD, “ALL THE WAY” lands in your CD player, and it may be hard to get the songs out of your head once you hear them! But hey, music speaks louder than words, so check out the free music samples and more at www.kevinmitchell.ca and hear for yourself!
