Mitch Tolnay is a singer-guitarist from Thirroul, NSW—bringing a soulful blend of folk, reggae, and blues to weddings and events across the state.
Born and raised in the Southern Highlands, Mitch now lives on the South Coast of NSW. He spent his twenties travelling globally before rediscovering his passion for performance through busking in New Zealand. That spark brought him back to Australia with a renewed focus on live music.
Today he's known for a soulful acoustic blend of folk, reggae, and blues—a mix of covers and originals that creates atmosphere and gets people moving. He performs at venues right across the South Coast, Southern Highlands, Sydney, Blue Mountains, and Hunter Valley.
Beyond weddings and events, Mitch writes and records original music under his project Jeffery Day, and collaborates with local acts Krystal Rivvers and The Beefs.
He lives in Thirroul with his wife Maddie and their two sons, Wolfgang and Zephyr.
