King, Albert King, Albert Collins, Carlos Santana, and Sly and The Family Stones.  Mitchhart took these influences and stated a lifelong career.  In 1991 after a few years on the East Coast, time in L.A. and touring top venues and Festivals, Mitchhart returned home to his hometown.  He put together a blues show called Stacy Mitchhart & Blues-You-Can-Use. The band attracted both rock and soul fans.  In 1993 he released his first album Blues Transfusion.  In 1996 he moved to Nashville,TN. and took up residency as the house band for the hugely popular Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar.  Mitchhart has been recognized by receiving numerous awards including the "Albert King's Most Promising Guitarist Award" at the Blues Foundations International Challenge in Memphis,TN."  For more information about the artist go to www.stacymitchhart.com
