Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners

Balancing folk songwriting, rock ​‘n’ roll energy, raw instrumentation, and sonic wanderlust, the Seattle-based musicians comprising Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners — Mitch Cutts, Nic Haughn, and Jakob Ervin — draw inspiration from the friendship between them. What began as a high school passion project in Colorado Springs has quietly translated to billions of streams and packed crowds.

They have cultivated a signature style of their own across RMCM [2017], Solstice [2018], and Subliming [2019]. In 2023, the one-minute and 27-second intro to RMCM, ​“Evergreen,” caught fire on TikTok, and has since generated over half a billion Spotify streams, while the group has averaged north of 20 million monthly listeners on the platform.

“Lake Missoula” also piled up over 100 million Spotify streams. They’ve graced the bills of festivals such as Lollapalooza, Under The Big Sky, and Hinterland, collaborated with Mt. Joy and Caamp on new versions of Lake Missoula and Evergreen, and remained prolific with new singles ​“Signal Sender,” ​“Careful,” ​“Northstar,” and ​“Sierra Vista.” They conclude 2024 with their biggest tour yet, playing to sold out crowds coast to coast, and are in the middle of finishing their 4^th LP. No matter what happens next, the friendship and the music go hand-in-hand for Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners.
