Having received an honourable mention at the American Song of the Year Competition 2013, John Mitchell releases a new EP together with partner Sofie Jonsson in the spring of 2014. Touring extensively in their current home of Sweden, appearing on stages such as the Scandinavian Country Festival 2012 and the Stockholm Folk Festival 2013, they have blazed a trail across Europe with their Celtic/American influenced roots music. The fiery fiddle and strong vocals, with close and heart-felt harmonies, match the superb song-writing and skilful guitar playing, and create a sparkling live show. GRAITH AND GRAIN EP 1.
