Jim
Mitchell
1944-2004
For
25 years until his passing in March, 2004, our vocalist
was Jim Mitchell. Jimmy was also the featured vocalist
at hundreds of University of Minnesota concerts, convocations
and athletic events for 35 years. With his uncanny ability
to communicate, Mitch could control an audience from
the palm of his hand, whether in an intimate club of
25 listeners or a stadium filled with 65,000 fans. His
unsurpassed emotional delivery ignited listeners. It’s
our hope that you enjoy our album featuring Jim Mitchell
as much as we’ve enjoyed performing some of the
world’s greatest music.
