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.
His CD, "Love Will Rise", marks the first time Mitch has teamed up with producers 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.”
From the joyful, acoustic guitar strumming of “Hallelujah,” with its gentle exhortation to “Turn your face to morning’s blaze, May your day be graced by love,” to the purely vertical rock worship anthem, “Wonderful,” Mitch pours his heart and soul into this 13-song declaration of faith.
