Mitch Reed
Mitch Reed was born in Mantua, Ohio and has spent
most of his life in Kent, Ohio. When he was 16, he got his first paying gig as a bass player, in a 50's music show at the now-defunct Geauga Lake Park in Aurora, Ohio.
He is not a blues man, folk-singer, or the often over-used and meaningless term "singer/songwriter". He's just a guitar player, and particularly enjoys fingerpicking in the styles of Leo Kottke, Bob Brozman, Merle Travis, and countless others.
Mitch spent an inordinate amount of time trying to play like one his main guitar influences, Greg Ginn. He is no music snob, and favorite players range from Ginn to SRV to Eddie Van Halen.
Go see a Mitch Reed show and hear some ragtime, country blues, 12 string, and whatever else he is in the mood for.

Steven Howell
For nearly ten years, Steven has been writing, recording, and performing his unique style of music. Over the years, Steven has performed in a variety of music venues, first as part of the acoustic trio Dreadnought, then moving on as a solo performer. After several years of dues paying, Steven's music started to attract the attention of Music Publishers. Most recently, Steven has been writing and working with a number of publishers in Nashville.
In his shows, Steven covers many of his songwriting heroes: Carol King, James Taylor, Cat Stevens, David Wilcox, Jim Croce, Harry Chapin, and their influence in Steven's music is obvious. But it is still the writing of his music that means the most to him: "Nothing compares to playing original music and seeing people sing along with you. It is both humbling and rewarding to see that something so intensely personal to me can be just as personal to someone else."
Steven has released three albums to date, Let it go Softly,1995; Sketches,1999; Freeway For Nothing, 2002. He has been featured in Songwriter's Monthly Magazine, Cleveland Free Times, and can be seen regularly throughout Northeastern Ohio.
