The Kevin Mitchell 4

This is the start of an ongoing series I’m going to call “What the Band Knows.” As you plan your wedding in the St. Louis metro area, you are no doubt thinking back to all the weddings you’ve been to as a guest.  But those of us who “work” weddings, have a different perspective …. […]

Just unpacked from an absolute terrific time at the Gatesworth. We got to play their New Year’s Eve gala, and it was a great time. We’ve gotten to play their a couple of times, but never for their NYE Party. First of all, we can’t say enough how great this place is.  Kathy, who runs […]

Hoping you all have a wonderful Christmas — the band has had a great year and a great month with lots of opportunity to play Christmas and Holiday party and events.  It’s fun to revisit these songs every year — here’s video of us playing a tune about a certain snowman while playing on the […]

It has been a busy December for the KM4! We love Christmas in St. Louis, and this season we’ve been blessed to be part of many events.  Perhaps none as unusual as playing the Metrolink‘s Magic Holiday Train! One Saturday we got on it and road the training playing jazz tunes and Christmas songs from […]

We see it over and over: nothing makes a fundraiser sizzle like a live band, and no type of band is more appropriate than a rockin’ jazz band. It doesn’t have to be us, but we love to be part of a good cause, and offer a  501(c)(3) discount. Just one example we’re proud of: […]

Let’s meet and talk about your big day!  … it’s the time of the year when a lot of people start booking The Kevin Mitchell 4 for their upcoming wedding.  It’s always exciting to us to be part of a couple’s special day. One of the things I’m quick to do is meet with the […]

A local St. Louis-area financial institution just hired us for their annual holiday party — for an eighth time!  We’re beyond flattered, of course.  But mostly we’re thrilled because at this point we’re practically family. Every year they bring in their VIP clients for a special party. We provide the music, but they really do […]

So I don’t do this very often for a variety of reasons — mostly because it’s usually just not as fun — but last night a smaller version of our band played a very special Yelp! event. And man was it fun. We were called on for an instrumental trio for 2-1/2 hours for their […]

Last week for a fourth time a food management company hired us to play their annual party up in St. Charles. They bring their employees from the region in, have them go to some workshops, and later, there’s a nice dinner and some awards are presented.  In the middle of that they like the Kevin […]

Setting up for one of three gigs this summer at the Biergarten at the Anheuser-Busch brewery, I got the biggest thrill: I looked up and there greeting me with big smiles was Ajay and Elizabeth.  We had the honor of being part of their immensely special wedding last year, and while then they lived out […]
