About Mitch
Mitch Reed was born in Mantua, Ohio and has spent most of his life in Kent, Ohio. When he was 16, he got his first paying gig as a bass player, in a 50's music show at the now-defunct Geauga Lake Park in Aurora, Ohio.
He is not a blues man, folk-singer, or the often over-used and meaningless term "singer/songwriter". He's just a guitar player, and particularly enjoys fingerpicking in the styles of Leo Kottke, Bob Brozman, Merle Travis, and countless others.
Mitch spent an inordinate amount of time trying to play like one his main guitar influences, Greg Ginn. He is no music snob, and favorite players range from Ginn to SRV to Eddie Van Halen.
Go see a Mitch Reed show and hear some ragtime, country blues, 12 string, and whatever else he is in the mood for.
