Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to another episode of The Open Mic Podcast! With your host Tom Hirst, brought to you by Richland Source and Newsroom After Hours!

This week we have the incredibly talented and one of the most hard working musicians in Mansfield, Ricky Mitchell!

He has this new album coming out and guess what? We talk about it. And wouldn't you know it, the album is wonderful! To me it has this very distinct nostalgic early 2000's alternative rock/pop feel, with some country overtones. With lots of re-playability from the catchy melodies that bore their way into my brain after just one listen. 

This is a very important album for Ricky, as it marks the begining of a new direction in life for him. Will this be a period in the sentance of his life leading up to this moment, or mearly a comma? Moving him on to the next stage of his musical career.

There is a ton of depth to this album, with enough introspection that will make even the most self unaware person pause and reflect on their own life.

Ricky is a joy to talk to and even more of a joy to listen to. Please be on the look out for when this album drops and for the album release show that we are planning for to be held at Relax It's Just Coffee
