Bio / Background
Chrys Mitchell's songs reflect his musical roots in the folk boom of the sixties and his view of life as an odd, puzzling adventure we muddle through as best we can.
A native of Rhode Island, he has lived in Maryland, Alaska, and California before accidentally settling down(for now at least) in Iowa.
He has worked as a day laborer, factory worker, window cleaner, truck driver, and college English instructor, managing to get by without a regular full-time job for more than twenty years--which has left plenty of time for refining his guitar technique.
A self-taught guitarist, Mitchell sometimes says that ninety percent of his musical knowledge is in his fingers.
His formal music education is limited to a few years of childhood violin lessons and seven years as a snare drummer in a youth drum and bugle corps.
As a folk musician, he started out with a cheap five-string banjo and Pete Seeger's instruction book but switched to guitar after a couple of years.
