Biography
The Chris Mitchell Band was handpicked from the finest musicians in the area to form one of the south’s best (and busiest) party bands. Lifelong friend and extraordinary musician, Jake Hallman, plays keyboards and performs on backing vocals. Ryan Kelly, grandson of the legendary Emma Kelly holds the bottom down on bass. Matt Fallin holds a doctorate in percussion performance (and as J.J. Evans would put it - is DY-NO-MITE!). The final member of the group is Chris' wife, Ashlee. Ashlee has gained notoriety throughout the Southeast as a strong vocalist and has performed throughout the area in several touring ensembles.
The band recently finished a solo album for Chris, the pieces of smalltown which as it's namesake suggests, offers edgier "americana roots" tour of the artist's soul - tracing Mitchell's history to the "small towns" he knows and loves. There are plans for a Christmas album in in the future, marking the artist's fourth album.
