Yellowstone Music Festival Artist Spotlight: Mitch Barrett - Singer/Songwriter
Mitch Barrett is one of Kentucky’s most sought-after and talented sons. His approach to lyrical storytelling is true ‘Americana’
drawing from his Appalachian heritage and the values it instilled.
Mitch takes his audience on an engaging journey, channeling the
inner voice of a truck-stop waitress, a mountain boy seeking spirituality or a socially and environmentally-charged activist. This
award winning singer/songwriter and storyteller has won several
songwriting competitions, most recent: The 2009 Telluride
Troubadour Competition, the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival in Lyons, CO; the
Merlefest Chris Austin Songwriting Competition (2 X’s); and the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Competition.
