As we delve into the illustrious career of Mitch Ryder, I can’t help but reminisce about one of my favorite memories involving this rock and roll icon. It was back in the early 2000s when I had the incredible opportunity to see Mitch Ryder perform live at a special event called Hippie Fest at Pine Knob. Having been friends with Mitch and his wife, Megan, for over 25 years at that point, the invitation to join them backstage for drinks and memories was a cherished moment indeed.

As we shared stories and laughter, Mitch regaled us with tales from his storied career, including a particularly memorable encounter with the enigmatic Prince. Hearing firsthand accounts of Mitch’s experiences with fellow musical legends only deepened my appreciation for his contributions to the industry.

Yet, despite his undeniable talent and influence, it’s disheartening to note that Mitch Ryder has yet to receive the recognition he deserves from institutions like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
