Jem Mitchell is a singer/songwriter from North East Dublin. Signed to A&M records America at 19 with Fire Water Creed, Jem moved to Los Angeles to hone his songcraft. Having fronted a number of indie rock bands in the late 80’s/early 90’s and following a 14 year hiatus Jem has re-emerged onto the live music circuit and has been steadily gigging. His latest project is the 5 track EP Sweet Amphetamine, a collaboration with long time friend and guitarist Ken Browne and the newest single Produced by Gavin Glass in Orphan Studios-   Jems’ music has been described as alt country, drawing on a rich seam of

Americana and roots music.
