The Keith Mitchell Band

Band History

Keith was born and raised in the Lone Star State. He grew up in Athens, Texas before moving to Dallas with his family. Originally a drummer by trade, he made the successful transition to "frontman" after years of playing for some of the most talented local and national acts based out of Texas.

Having formally studied music since the age of 12, and playing professionally from 14 to the present, it's easy to see what a large part of his life has been devoted to this labor of love. From growing up listening to Ray Price, George Jones, Charlie Pride, Waylon Jennings and too many others to mention, to watching countless hours of the Longhorn Ballroom, Hee Haw, and the Grand Ol' Opry (when they would show it), Keith was instilled with a strong appreciation for true country singers. Add that to years of gospel influence from performing in the church choir, and you start to understand his approach to singing.

Keith is a firm believer in sincerity when it comes to music, and his ability to deliver a song with personality, while having a commanding stage presence is what allows him to draw the crowd into the show night after night.
