Creative Spiritual Journey Through Life And Music


" In the modern guitar world, few names resonate as profoundly as Grammy-winning producer, engineer, virtuoso guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist Larry Mitchell. Renowned for his spellbinding techniques, soulful compositions, and eponymous signature sound, Mitchell has carved out a niche that defies genre boundaries, seamlessly blending rock, jazz, blues, and world music influences. During his star-studded journey, Larry recorded and toured with icons such as Tracy Chapman, Ric Ocasek, Billy Squier, Miguel Bosé, and Nile Rodgers. He collaborates with Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, George Lynch, and Doug Doppler, among many others, produced award-winning records for a variety of artists, and released several solo albums since emerging on the scene in the late 1980s."   ~  suleyera.com

"E S C A P E" from Guitarist LARRY MITCHELL

"Guitarist Larry Mitchell demonstrates that his purr is as vigorous as his roar. Those familiar with Mitchell's fiery electric playing know the man can wail with the best of them. On Escape, Mitchell breaks out the acoustic for a set of lush, peaceful, new-age flavored instrumentals. Peppered with lots of spunky, silken acoustic solos, his compositions are both graceful and rhythmic and are sure to lull the listener into a mellow daydream. Among the album's many choice cuts is 'River Run Deep' a beautiful, ethereal Irish-flavored folk piece where Larry and his guitar take off into some higher realm of consciousness. A great escape."   ~  Morty Kleidermacher - ChangingTones.com
