Keith Alan Mitchell is a singer/songwriter based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
His first album, This Clumsy World, will be released in mid-June. He will be playing shows in the Bay Area and beyond to promote the release, beginning June 20th in San Francisco. After fronting bands in his native Ohio and in California, this is his first solo album.
Influenced by a range of songwriters including David Gray, Paul Westerberg, and Tom Petty, Mitchell values a sincere voice, thoughtful lyrics, and a rock ‘n’ roll groove in his acoustic guitar-driven music.
