About the artist
The sound of DownTown Mystic is "vintage yet modern". What started as a side project would turn into a full time on-going band that has yielded 2 full cds...and it would be US Radio that would put DownTown Mystic on the map.
Veteran tastemaker, Jed The Fish, would play the track "Lost & Found" off of an Industry compilation cd as his "Catch of The Day" on "World Famous" KROQ in LA, one of the most influential modern rock stations. This would lead to some national airplay. When the "Mayor of The Sunset Strip", legendary KROQ DJ Rodney Bingenheimer, played another track, "Brian Jones", it was time to go back into the studio and finish recording enough tracks for a full-length album.
The result would be the "Rock'nRoll 4 The Soul" cd. The track "One More Chance" would be put on another Industry sampler and once again lightning would strike when it was heard by WBCG PD, G. Michael Keating, who immediately added it to his playlist...quite rare by today's standards! This led to radio play at commercial & non commercial AAA, as well as College and Internet Radio.
DownTown Mystic's success with "Rock'nRoll 4 The Soul" has been followed up with the current cd, "Read The Signs", which has gone onto even more popularity at AAA Radio. Once again, a track on an Industry sampler, "A Way To Know", would be heard by WOCM PD Skip Dixxon, and be immediately added to the station's playlist!
"Read The Signs" features Drummer extraordinaire, Steve Holley (Paul McCartney & Wings, Ian Hunter) and Urban Legend, Paul Page (Ian Hunter, Dion), on Bass.
Lyrics
There’s this shadow
That’s been following me
Never saw it gaining
I can’t break free
And I don’t know
If I’m standing still
It’s about what really matters
And it always will
Cause time will never give in
Don’t wait to begin
Read the signs
And now the message is clear
The future is here
Read the signs
All around us
Such uncertainty
What will be tomorrow
Is no guarantee
And time will never give in
Don’t wait to begin
Read the signs
And now the message is clear
The future is here
Read the signs
And I don’t know
If I understand
I will hold onto what matters
As long as I can
Cause time is destined to win
Don’t wait to begin
Read the signs
And now the message is clear
The future is here
Read the signs
