In the eighties\, he wandered back to the Heartland\, and settled in a tall brick Keokuk house overlooking the Mississippi\, built by a riverboat captain in 1879. \nMitchell’s credits include A Prairie Home Companion and repertory theater in the US and the UK. He has played Harold Hill in The Music Man\, Woody in Woody Guthrie’s American Song\, and Stephen Foster in Mr. Foster & Mr. Twain.

Shaver\, Michael Peter Smith\, and Cheryl Wheeler\, and cabaret songs by Brecht and Weil — “Mack the Knife” and “Bilbao” — and whimsical songs by Flanders & Swann — “The Gnu” and “The Hippopotamus”. He roves the room singing “Freeborn Man” by Ewan McColl. He weaves poetry by Carl Sandburg\, T.S. Eliot and others into his shows. \nMr. Mitchell will be available for media interviews in advance of the show by calling or texting Nancy Emrich Freeman at 847-256-0000.   Further information about Chuck Mitchell and high-resolution photos are also available by contacting Nancy Emrich Freeman.  On YouTube\, enter “Chuck Mitchell Sings”. \n\nLilFest Concert Series 2018The LilFest Series regularly presents folk and international concerts in intimate settings in the Eastern Iowa region.
