Bob Mitchell (Upland): I’ve been playing music most of my life: started on classical violin in school, took up guitar in my teens, started playing electric violin in progressive rock and country bands in my 20′s & 30′s.Then started playing on and leading worship teams in the late 90′s up to the present. My favorite styles are classic rock and electric blues, country and bluegrass and newer acoustic and Americana styles, jazz and worship music. I also enjoy leading our kids in worship and teaching and training many of our young kids in worship leading for the kids and youth.
