Event Information
Virginia's Mike Mitchell Band features masterful fiddle work, strong harmonies, and rising young pickers. Their dynamic performances blend tradition, family, and original songwriting into a compelling, modern bluegrass sound. The band reflects Mike's passion for mentoring the next generation of bluegrass artists, carrying forward the style, discipline, and joy of traditional music."
"Throughout his career, Mike has collaborated with some of bluegrass music's most respected artists, and his recordings have featured top-tier talent from the genre. His album, "Fathers & Sons" became a milestone project, not only because of its deeply personal theme, but also because it was the final album session for the late Jason Moore. The release elevated Mike's national profile, earning airplay on Sirius XM's Bluegrass Junction and top chart recognition across the bluegrass industry."
"The Mike Mitchell Tour 2026 highlights Mike's newest bluegrass album, "Love Songs, Torch, & Bluegrass," produced by award-winning musician and Grand Ole Opry performer Darin Aldridge. Full of love songs, both endearing and tragic, there is the occasional "torch" song--a ballad expressing unrequited or lost love. These songs feature themes of longing and heartache, combined with the undeniable bluegrass and songwriting Mike is known for. Mike Mitchell shares: "with Love Songs, Torch & Bluegrass, I wanted to capture everything I love about bluegrass—the emotion, the storytelling, the energy. Every song reflects a part of my journey, from quiet, heartfelt ballads to lively instrumentals. This album isn’t just music to me; it’s a snapshot of where I’ve been, who I’ve become, and the path I’m excited to keep following in
bluegrass.
