“He’s lyrically influenced by John Lennon, Jeff Tweedy, Ben Folds and Neil Young. Musically, you’ll hear hints of Jeff Lynne, Elvis Costello, Weezer and Wilco. He’s a drummer turned guitarist turned singer-songwriter”* and he’s the talk of Northern Michigan, since his move to the area.  Award winning songwriter Brett Mitchell, with 3 original albums under his belt (plus a new one on the way!) and a huge repertoire of covers performed with his own folk rock/pop rock spin, croons for an acoustic evening that will rock your world. Or check the show schedule for an exciting night with Brett Mitchell & the Mitchfits (previously the giant GHOST), Brett singing lead from the drums or guitar or both at the same time along with harmonica.  The Mitchfits boast Steve Tschaikowsky on bass guitar; Rick Manges, Drew Pentkowski, Erik Ryden provide electric guitar.  Loren Kranz adds keys and percussion and Mike Cramton adds percussion and back vocals for select shows.
