The Blaque Dynamite Trio will be featuring Mike Mitchell on Drums, Brad Miller on Bass, & Special Guest on Keys.
Blaque Dynamite, aka Mike Mitchell, has given validity to the cliche that age is nothing more than a number. He began drumming at age 2...played in his first live recording session at the ripe young age of 7 and had acquired a roster of drum company endorsements by the time he turned 11 years old.
"A young drumming phenom!" Vic's Drum Shop - Chicago, IL Young Dynamite gained his early development and exposure to music in a church setting. At an early age, he began to create his own music which evolved into a relentless passion and respect for the drum instrument. Inevitably, he had become very adamant in the pursuit of expanding his knowledge of music and honing his craft. At twelve, he embarked upon the study of drum music theory. At fourteen, he found himself in the hallways of the renowned Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, Texas in 2009. The school also fostered the amazing talents of Norah Jones, Erykah Badu and the late great, Roy Hargrove. Simultaneously, Dynamite took full advantage of attending workshops, master classes and clinics at colleges and universities all over the country during the summer breaks and amid tours.
"...a Jazz Drumming Prodigy...he is a powerhouse behind the kit!" - The Dallas Observer.
Being gifted to play all genres, Dynamite has been the recipient of a host of accolades and prestigious awards. He has received 14 DownBeat Music Awards and his impressive performance credits include Grammy award-winning artists Christian McBride, Erykah Badu, Thundercat, Michael McDonald, Bob Mintzer, Chrisette Michele, Terell Stafford, and The “Legendary” Clark Sisters. In 2012, he was selected to perform on a global stage at the inaugural International Jazz Day Celebration with one of the most influential jazz artist of all time, the iconic Herbie Hancock. Shortly after, Dynamite was reigning the drum throne for the living legend, virtuoso bassist, composer and producer, Stanley Clarke. Then, he graduated high school! (Class of 2013)
Fast forwarding, the Grammy nominated artist Blaque Dynamite has toured five of the seven continents of the world.
In 2015, he released his debut album entitled "WiFi" with Dallas-bred band, Rache'. His collaboration with the artistry of Christian Scott, Derrick Hodge, Doobie Powell, Kierra Sheard, Willow Smith, Ruth B., and Jon Bap has been the catalyst in the making of the new bandleader. On November 10, 2017, Blaque Dynamite released his sophomore project, craftily entitled, “Killing Bugs” on Ropeadope Records.
