Mitch Barrett - Paper Bags

Mitch Barrett is one of Kentuckys most sought-after and talented singer songwriter sons. His approach to lyrical storytelling is true Americana, rooted in authentic experience, not just a record labels genre. Mitchs music draws from his Appalachian heritage and the values it instilled: agrarian work ethic, simple living, the importance of family and celebrating the joys and the struggles of everyday life through music and song.

To get a good feel of Mitch's music listen to "Drop in the Bucket", "Sacred Yard", and "Viola". On the heavier side listen to "Born to Waste" and "Elvis and the Indians". Pearl" won the Merlefest Chris Austin competition for him the 1st time and "Drop in the Bucket" took top honors at the Folks Fest Competition with "Born to Waste" securing him a spot in the 2009 Telluride Troubadour Competition. Mitch Barrett is an amazing songwriter and a great performer and after you listen you'll agree.

Nice song to go with your news. Ah transition periods. I'm in one myself, but not such a long distance. Hope yours goes smoothly!

Is the month (or however long) of transient living like what you did earlier this year?

[helenzebcharles]

Aw, I loved the song. And millions of hugs for you. <3

And best wishes in your transition. I'm at a point of transition in my life... finishing school, no job yet.. who knows what the future holds for the next while.
