title of Manitoba Open Fiddle Champion, the youngest musician in history to do so. He has competed at
competitions across Canada and the United States, and has over 250 awards to his credit. Mitch was a
founding member of the popular fiddle group, “The Fantasy Fiddlers”, and at age 13, he served as
teacher and performance leader of the group, a position he held for several years.

At age 17, Mitchell joined the Calgary based fiddle show "Barrage", performing with the group at a
