"DownTown Mystic"

This was a fun podcast. I had to squeeze it into the Christmas festivities and then wait another two weeks to edit it. What made it fun was listening to the podcast songs, and looking over to see my daughter tapping her foot just like me to the music of DownTown Mystic.

Thanks guys!

BIOGRAPHY:

DownTown Mystic started as a side project for Sha-La prez Robert Allen while working with his artists.

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",

Robert decided to give DownTown Mystic more of a group identity by enlisting the talents of singer/songwriter Bruce Engler.

Robert and Bruce are joined by a host of other talented musicians on "Rock'nRoll 4 The Soul", including one of the great rhythm sections in the history of American Rock'n'Roll--Garry Tallent & Max Weinberg of the E Street Band.

The just completed "Read The Signs" features Paul McCartney/Wings drummer Steve Holley and journeyman/urban legend, Paul Page on Bass.

Instrumentation
Robert Allen - Vocal & Guitar
