Artiste du mois : Mitch Jean

As a Franco-Ontarian artist originally from Smooth Rock Falls, now based in Cochrane, Mitch Jean makes music with strong roots. Since he first picked up a guitar at the age of twelve, he has explored many different musical styles, but has found his sound in the sweet spot between modern country and rock. Drawing inspiration from 80s guitar legends like Def Leppard and the storytelling songwriting style of country artists like Eric Church, Mitch Jean has carved out a unique musical edge.

Whether it’s solo or full band (and anything in-between), in French or English, the dynamic performer captures the attention of his audience with his exuberant energy, making every show an interactive experience. In the past year, he has opened for Matt Lang and Dean Brody, among others. With his guitar shredding and powerhouse vocals, Mitch Jean puts on a show to remember, and this passion is not lost in his recordings either.

His songs explore themes of life inspired by nostalgia and the north; you can’t help but want to get lost down an old dirt road after listening to Mitch’s music. His songs bring you back to a certain place and time, and the stories he tells through his music come from the heart and connect with his listeners on a deep level.

Mitch is currently working on a new country-rock francophone album to be released in May 2024, and can’t wait to share his new music with everyone.  The first single will be available everywhere in February, so be sure to follow him for all the details!
