with Anna Mae Mitchell
G. Pat Harris and Anna Mae Mitchell first performed together throughout Michigan in a traditional bluegrass band for years before relocating to different parts of the country. In July 2009, they started performing again and collaborating on material that branches out from traditional bluegrass into a broad Americana sound which includes elements of folk, rock, and jazz, and has a range of lyrical content with influences from Goethe to Bob Dylan. In this new venture, they are performing original music in independently produced intimate shows across the country.
Singer/guitarist Anna Mae Mitchell and songwriter/bassist G. Pat Harris bring a unique excitement to the world of roots music. Their profound musicianship, love for the art form, and charismatic nature create an instant connection with every audience. They evoke the timelessness of traditional American folk music through original lyrical/musical curiosity and exploration. “Mitchell’s clear, powerful soprano is a dream for the soulful kind of songs that G. Pat Harris composes.” – Bangor Daily News.
