Mitch Herrick grew up outside of Chicago, in what was like one great big drunken musical ... everybody always singing, dancing, fighting ... and everybody in the family except his father were musicians. His dad was a painter. There were always rumors around the family that his father apprenticed with Norman Rockwell, but that was mostly chalked it up to boozy fishtails. Two paintings with that "Rockwell guy's" name hung on the walls when Mitch was a kid, and his mom had been forever pissed at his dad for selling them to get out of one of many financial scrapes that came along. She never let him live that down. It wasn't until later that Mitch did some research and saw on the internet that a couple of Rockwell paintings with the inscription, "To my pal Herb Herrick," had been sold at a Christie's auction for some obscene amount of money.

Mitch studied music from an early age, and spent most of his childhood backstage and in studios with his family. He abandoned college early to go on tour with The Gin Blossoms, and then Dave Matthews as an opening act, and has since been playing professionally and touring for over 25 years, consistently performing around 275 shows per year.
