Innerviews, music without borders
Mike Tittel

Mike Tittel

is the epitome of creative diversity. The Cincinnati drummer and multi-instrumentalist has spent decades moving between music, photography, and advertising and design, building a career that reflects the interconnected nature of the city's arts community and his expansive network. As a drummer, Tittel has earned a reputation for combining technical precision with an instinctive feel for dynamics and ensemble interplay. Beyond percussion, he works as a singer-songwriter, arranger, and producer, with a perspective that enables him to move comfortably between genres and collaborative settings. He discusses his band work with New Sincerity Works, Pretty Birds, and The Roger Klug Power Trio, as well as his solo output in detail. He also provides insight into the making of The Bends, his feature-length 2025 documentary about the beloved Cincinnati band The Raisins.
