Myles Mitchell
Hip Shaking Alternative Blues & Roots
"Mitchell's music evokes the lyrical storytelling of Johnny Cash, the baritone vocal stylings of Jim Morrison and the sounds and spirit of Western Australia" - Aurora Magazine
Myles Mitchell draws listeners into rich stories which transport us through time and space with the whims of an unencumbered musical imagination. His distinctive blend of indie folk and hip shaking alternative blues is infused with humour and exuberance which have become a hallmark of the Myles Mitchell live music experience.
From Denmark Western Australia, his music evokes the sounds of the South Coast with songs that are worldly, wise, relevant, sexy, surprising and downright fun. As a self-managed touring artist performing 50+ shows a year and receiving radio airplay across Australia (including Triple J, and independent radio stations around the country) his music is heard far and wide.
Born out of the Perth blues scene and schooled on tour in the USA, Mitchell distills a rich array of life experiences and global excursions into this deeply Australian musical experience. Myles is now part of the rich creative fabric of the South Coast music scene.
A live performer first and foremost, Myles is a consummate entertainer who never fails to draw audiences into his infectious songs and stories. He has the ability to engage first-time listeners into his original music on first hearing. A rare ability in a world of constant distraction. There is something about Myles that is timeless and yet fresh.
With two studio albums under his belt and more recording in progress, Myles is creating a musical legacy that will outlive his live antics. His first album Red Stone Sinners was recorded in Seattle, Washington in 2013 where Myles was living for 2 years, while touring the USA. Together Like This was recorded in Denmark in 2018 and launched with much excitement among Mitchell's loyal local followers. The title track was released as a single and hit number 10 on the Triple J Unearthed charts (blues and roots category).
