About DownTown Mystic
Rock’n’Roll spoken here…
The sound of DownTown Mystic is “vintage yet modern”. The music is rooted in all the great traditions of American Rock‘n’Roll, blending story telling songs with vintage guitars and analog recording into a unique style that owes nods to Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, Eagles, The Beatles and Rolling Stones but somehow manages to sound as contemporary as anything currently

It’s February and that means Groundhog’s Day! This year the furry rodent did not see his shadow, so that means there will be an early spring. Let’s hope so. It’s also the Chinese New Year. 2019 is the Year of the Pig. In Chinese culture, pigs are the symbol of wealth. The Chinese New Year falls in line with a new moon in Aquarius, so it’s a good time to start new things and get moving. February is also the month for lovers. Valentine’s Day is mid-month, so get ready for romance and all that chocolate candy!
NEW NEWS…Speaking of Valentine’s Day, DownTown Mystic is releasing the 1st single of 2019 with the new digital single “Love Light” for Valentine’s Day! It’s already at Radio and scheduled for release on iTunes, Amazon, etc. on the 15th of the month. We’re very excited about releasing new music this year and you can read all about it in the press release that was sent out:
NEW YORK, NY, January 22, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Sha-La Music, Inc. announces the first release of 2019 by US Rocker DownTown Mystic with the new digital single Love Light on February 15. Love Light is being released as part of a Digital Distribution deal between Sha-La Music and AWAL/Kobalt Music. The single goes out to worldwide Radio this week in time for Valentine's Day airplay.
The Love Light single contains 2 songs with the 2nd track Tomorrow's Clown, previously on cd only, being released on digital for the first time. Love Light will be the first of upcoming singles to be released from a new DownTown Mystic album tentatively titled Better Day and scheduled for release later this year. It will be DownTown Mystic's first full length album release since Rock'n'Roll Romantic in 2016. Love Light features the work of drummer extraordinaire Steve Holley (Paul McCartney, Ian Hunter) and urban legend Paul Page (Dion, Ian Hunter) on bass. Both are currently the rhythm section for rock icon Ian Hunter & The Rant Band.
The Love Light single will also be the first time that DownTown Mystic has released music to Radio for Valentine's Day. DownTown Mystic writer/producer Robert Allen comments, "We were trying to decide which single to release first in 2019 and then I got an email from Marvin Kuijs of iPluggers. He was looking for love songs ASAP to send to Radio for Valentine's Day airplay and it kind of made our decision for us. Love Light fits the bill perfectly".
Like DownTown Mystic's previous 2 singles, Love Light is being released to Radio via the iPluggers online platform. Those previous singles, Turn Around And Go and Think A Little Louder, had very successful runs at worldwide Radio garnering airplay on over 180 stations in 26 countries. But the real success story has been the In-store play from being downloaded by 20 In-Store Media companies, including the world's largest, Mood Media. So far both singles have been played on 250-500,000 In-store radio stations in 40 countries.
With music sync licensed on over 160 TV shows, worldwide success at Radio and a new album on the way, 2019 is shaping up to be one of DownTown Mystic's busiest and best years to date.

Welcome 2019!! It’s a New Year and time to wrap up 2018 and move forward. Things are not looking too good right now on the political front in the US & UK and these opening months of 2019 will be challenging. Astrologically, the good news is the New Moon Eclipse that started the year off and the planet of upheaval, Uranus, is now direct. This is a great time to find the initiative to get new projects off the ground!
NEW NEWS…While 2018 turned out to be a good year, 2019 is looking really good for DownTown Mystic. The new album is finished and in the can. That means there are a bunch of singles to release this year! Right now we’re trying to decide which single to release first and getting a release schedule for the rest of the year. The album will come out later in the year.
RADIO… The 2 singles “Turn Around and Go” and “Think A Little Louder”, released in the 2nd half of the year, were both very successful at Radio, especially with In-store airplay. Each managed to get radio play on over 180 stations in 26 countries, while garnering airplay on 250-500,000 In-store stations in 40 countries!!
Thanks to iPluggers for their promotional efforts. Anyone in Radio who’s interested in getting a free iPluggers account should check out the iPluggers online platform: link
SYNC & STREAMING…It was another good year for DownTown Mystic with music now sync licensed on over 160 TV shows that get televised in more than 20 countries around the world. In streaming news, the single “Think A Little Louder” has been added to 3 cool playlists on Spotify:

It’s December and the Mercury Retrograde has come to an end. It’s also Holiday time!! Happy Hanukkah to all our Jewish friends! In a few weeks, the Winter Solstice will be here and the jolly fat man in a red suit will be making his yearly nightlong trip. It’s hard to believe another year has come and gone. We would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays—Merry Christmas and a very Happy & Healthy New Year! See you in 2019!!
NEW NEWS…Things are real busy here with the release of DownTown Mystic’s new digital single “Think A Little Louder” and the “Rock’n’Roll Romantic” album coming out in Europe the following week. Here’s the press release that was sent out with all the news:
NEW YORK, NY, November 19, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Sha-La Music, Inc. announces the holiday releases of the new digital single "Think A Little Louder" by US Rocker DownTown Mystic on November 23 and 3 DownTown Mystic digital albums in Europe and the rest of the world one week later on November 30.
The 3 digital albums include the premiere of DownTown Mystic's current album "Rock'n'Roll Romantic" along with previous releases "Standing Still" and the self-titled "DownTown Mystic". The releases are part of new Licensing and Publishing deals between Sha-la Music and BMP Broken Music Publishing in the UK. The 3 albums will be released via Believe Digital.
The new digital single "Think A Little Louder" is being released in the US as part of a new Digital Distribution deal between Sha-La Music and AWAL/Kobalt Music and will go to Radio on November 28 via the iPluggers online platform. DownTown Mystic's previous single "Turn Around And Go", released in July, had a very successful run at worldwide Radio garnering airplay on over 180 stations in 26 countries.
However, the single's biggest success came from being downloaded by 20 In-Store Media companies, including the world's largest Mood Media. A conservative estimate based on 1% of the available in-store stations would be 8-9,000 in-store stations playing "Turn Around And Go". The realistic number of stations that played the single was at least 50% and closer to a mind-boggling 450,000 in-store stations in over 40 countries.
This marks the 2nd year that DownTown Mystic is releasing music during the holiday season and for the 1st time in the US. Last year in December the "On E Street EP" featuring the rhythm section of the legendary E Street Band--drummer "Mighty" Max Weinberg & bassist Garry Tallent was released. The EP was digitally distributed via ADA/Warner Music in the UK and Europe, with the single "Way To Know" reaching the Top 20 on the European Indie Top 200 Chart. DownTown Mystic writer/producer Robert Allen comments, "Having had success last year in Europe at the height of the holiday season, it seemed only natural to do it again this year and include our home base in the USA".
Besides the worldwide success at Radio, DownTown Mystic has sync licensed music on over 160 TV shows in over 20countries, adding to the brand. With releases in the US, Europe and the rest of the world for the 2018 holiday season, DownTown Mystic is currently in the studio recording and putting together a full schedule of releases for 2019.
Here’s the link for the press release: link
RADIO…The new single “Think A Little Louder” was released to Radio on Nov. 28 and is off to a great start with airplay on over 30 stations in 14 countries. The single is available via the iPluggers online platform: link
SYNC…It was another good year for DownTown Mystic with music now sync licensed on over 160 TV shows that get televised in more than 20 countries around the world. We also had the song “Fly Like The Wind” featured in the last 35 seconds of the trailer for “Better Start Running” starring Jeremy Irons. Check it out: YouTube

It’s November and turkeys are on the run with Thanksgiving coming up. That means Black Friday shopping sales and the fat man in the red suit is just around the corner. That also means that 2018 is almost over! Where did this year go? The big news in the sky is Jupiter is now direct with Venus next to follow, so get ready to ROCK!! With the big planet of good luck now moving forward, the upcoming Mercury Retrograde won’t be as big a problem as usual as long as you take the usual precautions.
NEW NEWS…DownTown Mystic’s new digital single “Think A Little Louder” will be released on Nov. 23 via AWAL/Kobalt Music in the US. Pre-orders are now available on iTunes and Amazon.

As mentioned previously, Sha-La Music has signed a Licensing Agreement to join the roster of boutique labels under the European flagship of BMP. DownTown Mystic will see a trifecta of releases at the end of this month when “Rock’n’Roll Romantic” along with “Standing Still” and “DownTown Mystic” get released via Believe Digital in Europe and the rest of the world on Nov. 30.
RADIO…The new single “Think A Little Louder” will be released to Radio on Nov. 28 via iPluggers. The previous “Turn Around And Go” Single had a very successful run at Radio, getting airplay on over 180 radio stations in 26 countries. That number pales in comparison to the single being downloaded and added by a number of companies with In-Store play, including the world’s leader Mood Media. A conservative estimate of in-store play for “Turn Around And Go” would be between 8-9,000 stations in over 40 countries!! That number is based on just 1% of the actual number of stations that the single was made available to by the In-Store companies.
SYNC…DownTown Mystic now has music sync licensed on over 160 TV shows that get televised in more than 20 countries around the world. As previously mentioned, we found out that the film “Monumental” with Jeremy Irons, had been re-titled as “Better Start Running”. We have the song “Fly Like The Wind” featured in the last 35 seconds of the trailer for “Better Start Running”!!

September is here and so is the end of summer. The Autumnal Equinox or the 1st day of fall will be here on Sept. 22. The days will begin to get shorter and a chill will be in the air as the leaves fall from the trees. It’s a nice thought but the summer temps are still around bringing hurricanes and disasters with them. Hopefully, things will cool down soon.
NEW NEWS…DownTown Mystic just had some new photos taken in a NYC photo shoot with ace LA photographer Mark Maryanovich that took place in Brooklyn and lower Manhattan a couple of weeks ago. You can check out some of the shots on our FaceBook and Instagram pages. Also check out Mark’s work at: link
DownTown Mystic will be back in the studio in a few weeks to put the finishing touches on a new release. Stay tuned. As mentioned last month, Sha-La Music has signed a Licensing Agreement to join the roster of boutique labels under the European flagship of BMP. Expect a flurry of releases from DownTown Mystic in Europe coming in 2019.
RADIO…DownTown Mystic recently did an interview with Peter Kunnens on the world famous Winkelwagen Show in The Netherlands. The interview will be posted soon on the Winkelwagen website: link
The “Turn Around And Go” Single was released by Sha-La/AWAL/Kobalt Music in late July and promoted to Radio via iPluggers. The promotion has been very successful, getting airplay on over 160 radio stations in 21 countries. That number will actually be much larger, thanks to the single being added by a number of companies with Instore play. One company, Mood Media in The Netherlands, has made the single available to all of its 580,000 In-store radios in 41 countries worldwide! Check it out on Spotify: link
Radio PDs & MDs can check out the single at: link

We have the song “Fly Like The Wind” in the movie, and even better, it’s in the trailer for “Better Start Running”, which features “Fly Like The Wind” in the last 35 seconds!!
