Simply Unplugged Classic Rock
Guitar / Classic Rock / Rock & Roll/Roots / Rock
Coulterville, CA
Bill Mitchell is Simply Unplugged, solo acoustic guitar act playing Classic Soft Rock

I've been playing guitar, electric, acoustic, bass since 1966, play a little drums and keyboards with a background in studio recording, song writing, producing, performing, and started "Simply Unplugged" in 1997. I've done the Hollywood scene in the late 70's with a band called Slammer. Worked for the record industry in the late 70's. Was the guitar tech for Glen Jorden that was in Sha Na Na in the early 80's. Had a brief electric guitar line made out of plexiglass show-cased at the NAMM show 1985. Did a short stint in Las Vegas with a cover band called "Chester's Pencil" 1983.  Was on the radio in Orange County with a new wave band in the early 80's called Sintax. Guitar player for the Lynn Carrie band in LA in the 80's and Jim Reinhart band in San Jose Ca early 90's. Took one of my recordings and filmed title song "Some Lovin" with Willis Music. Simply Unplugged is an Acoustic guitar act with a drum machine and racks mounts pumped through a pa. Doing everything from Eric Clapton, Beatles, Bob Dylan, Eagles, Elvis, America, CCR, John Meloncamp, U2, Who, and a lot more. My venues are small nite clubs, bars, shows, restaurants, anybody that doesn't want a full band with 200db's but is entertaining. I have an arsonal of guitars, some vintage. Don't mind if other musicians sit in with me. I'm very easy going and left my ego at the door over 20 years ago. I just love to play. I'm also a Private Chef mostly doing private dinners. My wife and I have been doing Shou Shu Kung Fu and both of us are a solid Yellow belt. Bill Mitchell
