John Mitchell (born June 21, 1973, Ireland) is versatile musician, mainly guitarist, singer and songwriter, also plays the bass and violin. He is the member or guest of a number of Progressive rock acts including Arena, It Bites, The Urbane, Kino, Blind Ego, Frost*, and John Wetton. He is also a music producer and engineer at Outhouse Studios, a recording studio in Reading, UK.

American classical composer John Mitchell was born in Hollywood, California on April 26,1941, first son of John Stewart Mitchell, pianist and cousin of Canadian novelist W.O. Mitchell, and Hungarian-born singer Teresa Hideg Mitchell. He studied music composition at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he became a protégé of Dr. John Vincent, then head of composition. In 1965, after Dr.Vincent lost his position to proponents of atonality (no melodies or harmonies) there was no place at UCLA for a composer writing in traditional forms, and John Mitchell left, but he and Dr.Vincent remained close friends until Vincent’s death in 1977. Since 1962 Mitchell has been a church music director, organist, and opera coach. His compositions include works for solo piano and organ, choral music, chamber music, art songs and operas. In 2000-2002 he has written two piano sonatas, a song cycle based on T.S.
