Jason Mitchell is a singer/songwriter, poet, storyteller who currently spends his time between Vancouver & Kelowna, British Columbia. He made his debut with a deeply personal collection of songs on the CD, The World is Flat which was released in May 2000 by Warner Music Canada. The CD was well received and has been heard on radio stations and satellite networks in both Canada and the United States.
With the CD release came an extensive tour schedule across Canada in which Jasons true joy and passion for his music and performing live was shared with many audiences. Jason has opened for Blue Rodeo in both Montreal and Toronto, as well as for the Cowboy Junkies at the Tulip Festival in Ottawa and 54/40 in B.C..
Other shows of interest have included; Toronto Street Festival, Much Music Interview, Winnipeg Westend Cultural Center, Myer Horowitz Theater (Edmonton), University College of the Caribou (Kamloops), Vancouver East Cultural Center, White Rock Theater, Chapters bookstores across Canada, Virgin Records Megastore (Vancouver), A&B Sound (Kelowna & Victoria), Liberty Lounge (Calgary), Holy Joes (Toronto), Side Track Café (Edmonton) and the Railway Club in Vancouver.
Jason also released two music videos which were played on Much Music, Much More Music, C.M.T., and Musique Plus. Jason has also performed live on Canada AM, the CFMI Morning Show with Brother Jake, Urban Rush TV Show, Breakfast Television and was recently featured on CBC's "North by Northwest". Three of his songs were also chosen for the soundtrack of a C.T.V. production called, The Stolen Miracle.
Jasons second CD Little Coma was released on February 21st 2004. Jason has very much appreciated the creative control he has enjoyed over this project. He is also thrilled by the collaborative energy contributed by band-mates Ed Johnson and Jordon Carrier (of Cozy Bones fame) as well as Producer Larry Anschells who has worked with such notables as Nickleback, Pearl Jam, Sarah Mclachlan and recently Bif Naked.
The magic and honesty of Jasons music occurs on stage with his energetic live performance. Jason mixes an acoustic bare-bones approach to his songs with a fuller meatier sound. He has a unique ability to quell the rooms chatter, captivating his audience with his dynamic voice and outgoing stage presence.

long time no messages :P I hope everythings okay with you. I still listen to the 2 cds you sent me pretty much everyday and I love it more and more everytime I hear them :)
okay Jay. I posted it as a bulletin, cause that's the only way you can send out group comments/messages. But I also did go through half your friends and copied and pasted it on some of their profiles. Its just takes a while cause you have to go to each one individually... The Bulletin should work well though..
Can't wait to talk and see you again..I will try and make your show this weekend k? Love Ky

Good to see you mention Jeff B.'s father as an influence. I had the good fortune to see Tim Buckley play in Vancouver (the Cellar on Broadway) a couple of times. He inspired me through most of the insipid 70s.

Hi there Jason Mitchell first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark the link below so that in the event that we do close our myspace account you won't lose contact with us. I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.
Jason: Thank you for your email and listening to my songs. I came by to check out your tracks. Love your lyrics and vocals. The production has good rhythmic energy.
how was the canada day show yesterday?? saw my guitar teacher with Damian Marshall on the big stage, but then I had to leave to go to work. SO very sorry I couldn't see you perform too, I really wanted too.
