Mitch Smith Music

I am very flexible in my presentation. I can play acoustic ambient music for background sound at social events or be the center of attention showing off my decades of experience. I have done multiple weddings, private parties and even a Dungeons and Dragons Festival.

When I perform a "concert", the audience can expect me to play and sing music from The Eagles, Bad Company, Pink Floyd, Charlie Daniels, Jimi Hendrix, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and much more. I make their music my own and play some original compositions. To add to the entertainment factor of a one man performance, I use a percussion pedal and looper as well as some commentary on the music.

At most weddings I will play classical guitar and sometimes perform as a duet with a violinist. My classical guitar repertoire consists of Cannon in D, Bach Minuet and Bouree, The Bridal Chorus and Wedding March, Lagrima and many others.

I have been a music lover my entire life. I have been a serious musician for over three decades. I have a degree in music education.
Growing up in East Tennessee, I had 3 brothers. Music was always a part of our life. Although I'm the only one who learned to play instruments, we had vast collections of records and tapes and music was always playing somewhere. Our mother had "Hometown Radio" playing in the kitchen every morning at breakfast and every evening at supper. I especially remember the Southern Gospel on Sunday mornings. Our dad liked a variety of music. I inherited his record collection of The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Ronnie Milsap, Lionel Richie and even The Pointer Sisters.
Two of my brothers married musicians and now musicianship has spread through our family tree on into my children as well as nieces and nephews. Needless to say, family get-togethers are always sprinkled with some playing and singing.
For me, music is my life. I teach, I have a YouTube following and I perform regularly. I am beyond blessed to be able to engage with so many interesting people at so many interesting events. I would not trade my gift for anything.
