Mitch McVicker

Mission Statement

Mitch is a singer/songwriter with something to say…Years of songwriting and touring have matured Mitch into one of the finest storytellers in Christian music. Mitch is unabashedly a believer and shares his faith in his muse and prose.

Mitch McVicker: Love Will Rise

August of 2007 saw Mitch McVicker release his first studio recording in five years. Love Will Rise, is the fifth record in McVicker’s growing discography and has been consistently acclaimed as his best work to date. He continues to write deeply honest, introspective, and catchy songs. His award winning, chart-topping songwriting is a constant. This 13-song gem is a gift to all.

“This has definitely been a labor of love, which inevitably means it has been a wonderful experience, a hard struggle, a growth process, and a great blessing…all at once,” explains McVicker. ”

Love Will Rise marks the first time Mitch has teamed up with producer Nathan Nockels, who crafted nine songs, and Margaret Becker, who put her stamp on four tracks. “I am overwhelmed at the quality of musicians and people that have given life to this music and turned it into something more than it ever was before.”

In the fall of 2007, McVicker will embark on a 50-city, 22-state tour, to coincide with the release of Love Will Rise. Mitch, along with his band, bring a simple, yet highly musical, and highly energetic concert to theatres, churches, coffeehouses, colleges, and universities.

During the past five years, McVicker has been anything but dormant. He has traveled the country trying to direct people’s attention towards Jesus. Mitch has done over 800 concerts in 49 states and believes concerts are the backbone of his ministry. His goal is to present Jesus and the Kingdom of God with each concert that he does. “Getting to do this is a lot of work…AND a lot of blessing. I want to embrace both,” he says. “It is a beautiful experience to go here and there, interact with humanity, and rub shoulders with the body of Christ.

Now, Mitch is glad to have “Love Will Rise” as a current representation of his present situation. “I am grateful to have had the opportunity to document where the Lord has brought me, up to this point. I am just trying to remain faithful to what the Lord is doing in me. And that is a process that we should never hurry.”

It was Rich Mullins who introduced Mitch to the contemporary Christian music world as he traveled, did concerts, and wrote songs with Mullins for 2 years. During that time, Mitch and Rich wrote, “My Deliverer”, a Dove Award winning Song of the Year.

However, in 1997, tragedy struck. As the two traveled to a concert, their vehicle overturned. Rich Mullins was killed, and Mitch was left with serious internal injuries and a severe closed head injury. McVicker was in a coma and hospitalized for six weeks. During his two year recovery period, thousands upon thousands of people around the country rallied to pray for Mitch and send him cards. Where he is today is nothing short of a miracle.

Mitch has no intentions of letting up, and he doesn’t believe his focus will change anytime soon. He says, “All of this is an extension of my faith-walk with Jesus. Scripture says that we are to make our plans and then let God direct them. I am planning to do this for as long as God would have me do so.”

He sums it up in saying, “I will use this opportunity to place Jesus right at the front of people’s conscience. Life is a wonderful blessing…that is also filled with troubles. Citing Romans 8, Mitch concludes, “I want to remind people that in ALL THINGS…love will rise”
