"Tenderly apocalyptic music from a Midwestern transplant to New England.  Jeff Mitchell's songs are flashes of memory, emotion, and dry humor.  He specializes in fingerstyle guitar and plays kick-drum, Moog bass pedals, and an echo-box with his feet.  

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.  He's shared the stage with folkies, punks, honkey-tonkers, barbershoppers, hip-hoppers, yodeling cowboys, and cardboard robots."
