The Mitchell Street Band

So, I wanted to wait to write an entry about Mitchell Street Band until I heard them with my own ears. My brother, Mike, is the lead singer in this band I've been hearing about for months. The five guys in the band are from Bloomington, Indiana. They have a jazzy rock sound, and they're REALLY GREAT! We've seen them three times, and each time has been awesome. They sing original songs and some covers that you'd recognize but aren't the normal ones. Some Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, Maroon 5, etc. They're now getting gigs in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio, which is pretty amazing.
So I write all this to tell you that they may be coming to YOUR city, and you should consider checking them out.
This Wednesday in Indianapolis, they're the opening band for the Spin Doctors. An old band, yes, but they just came out with a new album that they're touring with I guess.
The last thing I wanted to mention is their website: www.mitchellstreetband.com
Go to it, find out about upcoming shows and get some free downloads of their original songs. Keep in mind that they've made the songs a little more funky now, so it will sound different live. If you go, please let us know how it was, and maybe we can hook them up in your city again. Just a sister trying to make her brother's band more successful...maybe. Enjoy!
