"Tenderly apocalyptic music from the Midwest. Jeff Mitchell's songs are flashes of memory, emotion, and dry humor. His raw approach to fingerstyle guitar swerves from pedestrian to mind-melting without warning. His live shows have earned him a reputation for emotional intensity, lyrics that silence a room, and genre-bending roots-rock that can bring the house down.

Jeff claims influences that range from country-blues greats Elizabeth Cotten and Mississippi John Hurt to experimentalists like Ween and Mr. Bungle. His lyrics offer abstract impressions of small-town life and a bewildered view of humans in general.

Mitchell has played everything from metal in dive bars to jug band music in grade schools, sharing the stage with folkies, punks, honkey-tonkers, barbershoppers, hip-hoppers, yodeling cowboys, and cardboard robots."
