'Been Gareth Brook's secret weapon for too long. His time to shine.'
One said, "I’m from East Tennessee,I googled him. He has already toured with Garth Brooks.", while another said, " LOVED Mitchel Rosells song!!. Great storyteller! Beautiful voice!! He needs to go into country music with Garth, Tim McGraw, Chris Stapleton, any of them." Another recalled, "when I saw you open up for Garth brooks about 5 years ago I knew you were going to be something special. You showed the world tonight on #AGT. Keep up the great work." One called out, "#agt does no one know that most of these people are not amateurs? For instance- Mitch opened for Garth Brooks!", to which another remarked, "He opened for Garth bc Garth knew him personally & gave him a shot. He's an independent artist that needs a record deal to get his music out to the general public. Without a record deal, you don't get played on the radio." Another concluded, "@mitch_rossell's "Son" is one of the best pieces of original music I have heard on #AGT. Bravo, Mitch!!!"
