Chuck Mitchell
Singer-songwriter Chuck Mitchell blends folk, cabaret songs and poetry woven into an intimate coffee house evening.
Chuck Mitchell started singing in Detroit folk clubs in the 1960s. In Toronto, on his first out of town gig, he met Canadian songwriter Joni Anderson. They married, and as a duo Chuck and Joni Mitchell played the coffeehouse circuit, and gin rummy, until they divorced in 1968. Mitchell's credits include A Prairie Home Companion and repertory theatre in Texas and in England. He has played Harold Hill in "The Music Man" and Woody Guthrie in "Woody Guthrie's American Song."
He wrote and produced "Mr. Foster & Mr. Twain," in which Stephen Foster joins Mark Twain for an evening of story and song. A Chuck Mitchell show combines his seasoned skills as an actor, singer and guitarist with a selection of delightful material. He sings cabaret songs and whimsical songs, and weaves poetry by Robert Frost and T.S. Eliot into his shows. He has been called a renaissance man, and thinks he is old enough to be one. www.mitchellsong.com
Chuck will also provide special music in the 10am service at Grass Lake United Methodist Church on Sunday, Oct 18.
