Ian George / Matt Mitchell Music Co.

Ian George along with his gorgeous band The Knee Pockets (talented, ferocious young men) have one motive : ALLOW A GOOD TIME. The band delivers the sort of concert you’ll likely dance, sway, sing, laugh and maybe even cry(!) to. Yesiredoo, a spontaneous and ferocious musical ride teeming with whimsicality, clever arrangements – interrupted by triumphant tangents – and outlandish solos grounded by George’s gauzy voice and by the simple strength of a good song.  Expect an engaging and dynamic string of gentle and not so gentle folk-rock adventures.

Centered around the old-soul, observational storytelling of Matt Mitchell, who lives full time out of an imported Japanese bus, MMMC brings Mitchell’s tunes to life in solo, acoustic duo/trio and full on, electrified band configurations. Mitchell’s songs are equal parts clever, quick-witted and heartbreakingly confessional, (oftentimes all at once) translating well both in attentive listening rooms and rowdy rock halls. If ‘The Band’ took a road trip to Laurel Canyon and pulled their tour bus over to pick up John Prine hitching his way down the pacific coastline, their rolling jam sessions might sound a little like Matt Mitchell Music Co.
