T. Mitchell Bell
T. Mitchell Bell grew up in a small steel town outside of Pittsburgh. Mr. Bell’s musical roots run deep: his great-aunt taught piano, his grandmother played piano at his church, his great-grandfather made fiddles in WV, and his father is a jazz drummer. Absorbing this familial history has enabled Mitch to write timeless country-folk songs with meaningful lyrical content. We’re happy to host him live on SLB.
