Hailing from Queensland in Australia, Mitch King brings his electrifying solo show to Halifax and The Carleton for the first time on Thursday, September 24th. Show time is 7:30 PM and tickets are $20 + HST.
Yes, we’re aware that – including Lloyd Spiegel’s upcoming HUFF show – Mitch will be the 4th(!) Aussie we’ve booked this summer/fall. Why? Because they’re all just too damned good not to turn our stage over to them!
Mitch King is an Australian multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter with over 85 million streams worldwide, known for his electrifying one-man-band performances and genre-blending sound drawing from Southern blues, Australian folk, roots and alt-country.
He first gained national attention in 2016, winning the Tamworth Country Music Busking Championship and shortly after being voted Hottest New Act at the St Kilda Festival.
His debut album A Life Under the Sun reached international audiences when the track Coming Back was featured during half time at the Green Bay Packers’ NFL season opener.
Mitch later released The Open Doors EP through the late Michael Gudinski under Reclusive Records (Mushroom Group). The release included Oil & Water, co-written with Mark Lizotte (Diesel), which earned an Honourable Mention and a category win at the 2022 International Songwriting Competition.
In January 2026, Mitch delivered a standout Official Showcase at Folk Alliance International in New Orleans, opening new pathways for global touring.
On stage, Mitch is a true one-man powerhouse—seamlessly blending acoustic and electrified guitar, harmonica, kick and snare drums, tambourine, and rich, commanding vocals.
Through extensive touring, Mitch has built a loyal fanbase and performed at major festivals including Woodford Folk Festival, Blues on Broadbeach, and Byron Bay Blues Festival, while also supporting artists such as America, Roger Hodgson (Supertramp), and Tones and I.
His latest independent album, Power In Your Hands (October 2025), marks a confident new chapter as Mitch King continues to carve his own path on the global stage.
