Mitchell grew up in the Perth suburb of Bull Creek, forming the band Jebediah in 1994. With Mitchell as the frontman, the band released four studio albums from 1997--2004, the first three of which entered the top ten of the ARIA Albums Chart. The band went on hiatus as Mitchell undertook solo work with the pseudonym of Bob Evans.
The name Bob Evans was first created in 1999, so Mitchell could play solo shows without attracting Jebediah fans who may expect him to play acoustic Jebediah songs. He released a rather unrecognised album in 2003, Suburban Kid. Capital Records signed Mitchell and released the album, Suburban Songbook, in 2006. It debuted at number 15 on the ARIA Albums Chart and featured the successful single, "Don't You Think It's Time". In 2009, he announced a third album, Goodnight, Bull Creek!, named after his hometown of Bull Creek. The album peaked at number 22 on the ARIA Albums Chart.
