Bio
-Jason Mitchell, born December 3rd 1975, grew up in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Jason began playing guitar by the age of 12 and rapidly realized that music was his passion. Jason honed his skills while practicing 5 hours a day; studying with private guitar instructors in classical, jazz, blues, and modern rock theory. Some of his earlier influences were Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Dream Theater, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Jake E. Lee, Van Halen and Rush. -Jason also attended The Braun School Of Music for formal vocal training during 1993 and received a Grant upon high school graduation. Post high school, Jason was accepted into the Berkley College Of Music with a scholarship. -Jason's career took him on a journey encompassing studio recording and countless east coast tours. He would go on to receive noteworthy press in such publications as the PA Musician and the Shinbone Magazine. -In 1991 while with his band Pyramyx, Jason released "Define The Difference" with Donny Frantz, Chris Kurtz, Sam McGowan and Keith Collins. The album was a four song demo rooted in progressive rock. It was recorded at Savior Studio in Pennsylvania, engineered by Jamie Parker and given a helping hand by then music instructor John Hahn (Leviathan Records). -In 1996 Jason played with Pennsylvania punk-based band Stickman Morley. Mid 1997, Jason and Stickman Morley took some time off to record "Farmer Brown's On The Take" with percussionist Kenny Moyer. It landed commercial radio airplay and a spot on "PA's Finest Compilation CD" Vol. 4. The band continued performing through 1999 riding on the success of the recording. -From 1999 to 2009 Jason appeared in regional and east coast touring acts such as Slyde 1999, Hinge 2000-2002, Five-P 2007-2008, Kill Valentine 2008, Finding Isaiah 2008 and Emily's Toybox 2009. -Currently Jason resides in Drexel Hill, a suburb of Philadelphia nestled within Delaware County. He can be seen in the Philadelphia based group, The Zone, with band mates Chris Mazzoni, Mike Mazzoni and Alex Staff (formerly Crystal Roxx) in addition to Separate Ways The Band, a tribute to Journey, featuring Dan Gagliano, Mick Loro, Mike Llewellyn and Richie DeCarlo. -Jason also hosts a solo acoustic show since 2007 while sporadically recording and releasing his acoustic treasures. He has appeared at Penn's Peak, many of PA's rock venues in Harrisburg, Allentown and Philadelphia all the way to Key West, FL., Put-In-Bay, OH., Atlantic City, NJ. and Fed Ex Stadium. Jason has performed everything from intimate acoustic shows to rock festivals with his bands reaching 8000 people capacity venues, MLB and NFL stadiums. -Jason is proudly endorsed by In Tune Guitar Picks and SIT Strings. -
