Bill Mitchell, the host of Blues Bytes Radio, has a long history in promoting, talking about, and writing
about the Blues. His Blues Bytes album review website --- www.bluesbytes.info --- has been in existence
for nearly 25 years, earning a 2006 “Keeping The Blues Alive” award from the Blues Foundation for the
Blues On The Internet category.
Bill previously hosted Blues radio shows first on a couple of stations in Greensboro, North Carolina and
then with a three-year stint doing the Blues Hangover show on KZON in Phoenix. He was the founder
and president of the Piedmont Blues Preservation Society in Greensboro for five years and later was
president of the Phoenix Blues Society for 15 years, leading those organizations in producing over 100
festivals, concerts and other special programs.
Besides having the Blues as one of his main passions, Bill left his corporate day job more than eight years ago to
focus on his other love, working as a freelance photographer and writer covering both professional and
amateur baseball. A native of Pennsylvania, he has lived in Tempe for over 30 years.
