Mitch Grainger

Blues & roots artist • Harmonica player

Now Touring With Randy Houser (2025–2026)

Mitch Grainger has been touring as the harmonica player with Randy Houser since July 2025, performing across the U.S. He is also featured on harmonica on Houser’s latest release “Back In The Bottle.”

“Randy and I met by chance at a gig in Sydney the night before New Year’s Eve and hit it off,” Mitch says. “Not long after, he asked me to play on recordings for his new project once I was back in Nashville, and that connection led to an invitation to join the touring band.”

It is a new chapter that brings Mitch’s blues rooted playing into modern country rock, while opening up new sonic pathways through his ongoing work with Dyna-Mic.

Plug It In / Plug It In Acoustic

Mitch Grainger’s twin releases, Plug It In and Plug It In Acoustic, share the same tracklist but deliver two different experiences. One is electric and full band driven. The other is stripped back to voice, harmonica, and acoustic guitar.

Plug It In draws on deep blues traditions while reaching into swampy garage rock and hard driving Americana. Plug It In Acoustic steps closer to the raw spaces of the Delta and Hill Country, bringing the songs’ foundations into sharper focus.

In the Studio: Starlight EP (in progress)

Mitch is currently remixing a powerful set of unreleased recordings from a band he co-fronted in Los Angeles with Rosa Pullman. Captured between 2012 and 2014, the songs Mitch sang are being brought together for a new EP titled Starlight.

“These tracks are just too good to stay hidden,” says Mitch. “We had a vinyl release back then, but there was never a digital release or any real promotion. I’m hoping to change that now.”

New music is in progress, with updates shared first via the mailing list.
