JAMAICA PLAIN, MA, July 15, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Mighty Mystic has opened for the legendary Barrington Levy once before. With his band The Strings of Thunder, he is slated to open July 16th, for the man who brought us "Murderer", "Under mi Sensi", "Here I Come" (Broader than Broadway), and a whole host of other reggae anthems. Mystic, who just released a single and video with Shaggy, and is himself responsible for many well loved reggae tunes (Such as "Riding on the Clouds", "Firetown", and "Better Times: (feat: Stephen Thunder). The timing couldn't be better.
"I feel honored to share the stage with Barrington Levy...." says Mystic . "As a child, looking up to Barrington, and his music, and stepping into the biz yourself, It's a pleasure to share the stage with such an icon, as Barrington. We have a special set-list crafted for this" says Mystic, who recently released a single "Here I Am" with Shaggy. "We plan to deliver one of those memorable performances on the sixteenth, and we're doing some new songs....".
On a mountain in Maine, at the Sugarloaf Reggae Festival, in 2007, logistics were such, that Mystic and his backing crew (Bobby "clumsy ninja" Bishop and Miss Model T Brown of Steppers Heaven, Stephen Thunder, and Marc E Smith of The Strings of Thunder, Renegade Soundstation, and Mike Cip and DJ Master Millions of Split2nd Entertainment) performed for 2+ hours, to the delight of the 1,000+ in attendance.
There was a bus delay, and so the 45 minute opening set became a mammoth two and-a-half hour tour-de-force in reggae music. Thanks to the sheer power of his own live reggae show, Mystic held the audience captive for more than 2 1/2 hours, working the crowd with ease, "pulling up" and "rewinding" songs, working the 10 piece stage ensemble, like a giant organic set of turntables. With him remixing his own vast catalog of material on the spot, and using dynamic stage generalship, and a voice of power and reason to virtually shake the King Pine Hall to it's foundations, the crowd was ready for the legend himself, and the continuity of the event, was preserved.
Now, with Mystic's star rising, he's involved in this LiveNation & Ingenius Concepts event at Boston's legendary Rock Club, the Paradise...opening, once again (minus the mountain) for an icon, of Jamaican music.
