Mitchell Mordechai Harrison
Leader of Rocking Simchas, Mitch began performing as a teenager in Long Beach on tuba and bass guitar. After getting a degree in biology, Mitch returned to performing 10 years ago and never looked back. He is a member of several different Jewish bands, each playing in their own, uniquely cutting-edge styles: Moshiach Oi!, Blanket Statementstein, Mr Shabbos Show, and White Shabbos.
He has recorded several albums of original music, playing in synagogues, yeshivas, shows, nursing homes, camps, clubs and intentional communities around the world and in Jewish, multi-faith, and non-affiliated spiritual contexts. Mitch is playing a leading role at the NYC emerging alt-Jewish scene redefining what it means to be a 'Jew' and has been featured in two documentaries recently: Punk Jews and Tikkun Olam. After playing at over 100 weddings and other simchas here and abroad, Mitch founded Rocking Simchas with the intention to create a new deal in music entertainment: to make your celebrations rock!
