About Mitch
Mitch Kirkpatrick is an Ohio country artist known for an authentic sound, strong vocals and engaging live shows — traditional country roots with a modern, southern-rock edge. He grew up in Athens, Ohio on Waylon Jennings and George Jones, fronted a local rock band through sold-out rooms as a teenager, and went solo in 2015.
The first year told the story: his self-titled debut EP (2016) and its single "BYOP" drew a release-party crowd big enough that the fire department showed up, and his headlining BYOP concert in Logan, Ohio pulled more than 2,200 fans. Since then he has recorded in Nashville with producer Skidd Mills, co-written with Jim McCormick and Lydia Vaughan, released the Nostalgia EP (2019) and a steady run of singles — "Broken Fences", "God's Country", "Sunday Morning", "Broken Man" — and in 2026 the duet "I'm Not The One" with Erin Stoll. He has opened for Jake Owen, Josh Thompson, Brett Eldredge, Parmalee and John Michael Montgomery and played Newport Music Hall and Country Night Lights.
Now represented for live booking by The Joseph Henry Agency, Mitch is available for festivals, fairs, breweries and clubs, corporate and private events and radio shows — a 75- to 120-minute set of originals and country-rock favorites.

Mitch Kirkpatrick
High-energy is the whole point. Mitch's set mixes the originals — the radio duet, "Broken Man", "God's Country" — with the country and rock covers a festival crowd wants to sing, and it runs a full 75 to 120 minutes with the band. He's played with Aaron Tippin at a Valor Retreat show and headlined his own hometown concert for 2,200.
A kid from Athens, Ohio who sold out rock clubs before he could vote, then found his own voice in Waylon and George Jones.
