"Obvious Euphoria" - Available Everywhere - Friday, 01/26/24

Matt Mitchell Music Co.'s Obvious Euphoria maps out a heartfelt journey through heartache, grief, and perseverance reaching towards transformation, a journey that parallels Mitchell's own roaming and seeking life. On the album, it's in the moments of kinship and intimacy, which Mitchell shares with his bandmates featuring members of Desolation Horse, The Hackles, Blind Pilot, and Taco Tapes, that an undeniable warmth and powerful chemistry rises to the fore. Layers of harmony and instrumentation compliment Mitchell's introspective and vulnerable storytelling in a spacious and compelling way. Life's highway might always be winding, but Obvious Euphoria is a stop worth taking.

The 7-Eleven on Second and Division, sings musician Matt Mitchell, is "where all the hard luck falls." Shells of people stumbling around," he continues, "breaking down against that wall."

The people at Spokane’s notorious intersection, where homelessness is rampant and fentanyl foils litter the sidewalks, were chewed up and spit out by some falsehoods of the American dream, Mitchell believes – the same one that promised a good job, a good family and a traditional white-picket fence – but were instead shattered by the horrors of substance use.

"Everyone’s arguing over what to do with all the blood," Mitchell says. "But no one is talking about why we’re bleeding."

Mitchell is 40 and has seen the good, the bad and the in-between of his city. He is a Lewis and Clark High School alum and the former front man of Trego, a band with more than a decade of history in the area.

Today, he travels across the Pacific Northwest to perform in Seattle, Portland and anywhere people will listen, and largely credits his talent to his mother, who supported his boyhood ventures in piano playing.

Matt Mitchell Music Company is an original Americana project hailing from the Pacific Northwest. Centered around the old-soul, observational storytelling of Mitchell, who lives full time out of an imported Japanese bus, MMMC brings Mitchell’s tunes to life in solo, acoustic duo/trio and full on, electrified band configurations. Mitchell's songs are equal parts clever, quick-witted and heartbreakingly confessional, (oftentimes all at once) translating well both in attentive listening rooms and rowdy rock halls. If ‘The Band’ took a road trip to Laurel Canyon and pulled their tour bus over to pick up John Prine hitching his way down the pacific coastline, their rolling jam sessions might sound a little like Matt Mitchell Music Co.

Booking inquires for a solo act, an acoustic duo/trio or full band. Also available for piano/organ/keys performance or studio work.
