Mitch Greenhill & Mitch’s Kitchen – Berkeley, CA

Mitch Greenhill has released 9 albums and 2 books. The Boston Globe hailed his “movement and drive and touch that anyone who has ever coped with a guitar cannot but envy.” Kirkus Reviews (starred review) described his book, Raised by Musical Mavericks, as “a charming and informative must-read for music lovers.”

His newest book, What Goes Around…, is a fictional tale set in California, during the time when the optimistic 1960s are overtaken by the challenges of the 1970s: cocaine, political violence, changing tastes in music and sex, and the need to earn a living. We follow a group of young people whose lives collide when they join up to record a song. Their lives then forever interwoven, they struggle onward towards dreams won and lost as a carved ivory snake watches over the journey.

He has produced an array of recordings, including a Grammy-winner for Doc Watson, and has composed and designed music and sound for regional theater, where he has received several Drama-Logue awards, and on Broadway. Mitch has appeared on screen in “The Long Riders” and “Safe.”

Mitch’s Kitchen, founded on the idea that one makes a tasty and meal from nutritious foods in the pantry, features Peter Spelman on bass and vocals and Roberta Levitow on vocals and percussion. After an extensive history as soloist and bandleader, Peter was a founding member (with Mitch) of String Madness, where his compositions fueled a decade of “string band music from Bach to Bebop.” Roberta, a modern-day Renaissance woman, has seen success as a widely produced theater director, a widely exhibited painter and a founding member of Theatre Without Borders.

Mitch’s Kitchen cooks up a sweet and savory feast.
