sad. http://cdbaby.com/add/mysticbowie___________________________ ____________________________________Since the age of seven, Mystic Bowie has performed professionally Worldwide and recorded with some of the music industry's hippest melody makers. Once a member of Stanley and the Turbines, Mystic has been a featured solo artist for Reggae Sunsplash, eventually going on to open for a heavy-hitting lineup of reggae greats including Toots & the Maytals, Burning Spear, Yellow Man, Buju Banton, and Jimmy Cliff as well as for Latin pop diva Gloria Estefan. Well-schooled in the world of reggae and other Caribbean musical genres, it would be a performance in 1991 that opened a new path for him, a collaboration that would shape his future in more ways than one. Scheduled to perform on the Mardi Gras Fest bill at Tramps (NYC), Mystic had the opportunity to perform with the founding members of the Tom Tom Club as his backing band. Thanks to his performance with Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz (Talking Heads), it evolved into a partnership that has lasted to this day. Mystic has worked steadily with the Tom Tom Club since 1992. With the release of their album, "The Good, The Bad and The Funky" (2000), featuring his vocals on the dub-heavy tracks "Time to Bounce"and a remake of Lee Perry's "Soul Fire", Mystic Bowie emerged as a force in his own right as their lead singer. Touring worldwide with the Tom Tom Club since 2000, Mystics performances have been praised for his seemingly ceaseless supply of energy and the excitement he generates with crowds everywhere. The irresistible vibe of this tour, and Mystics performances, has been captured magically on the Tom Tom Clubs Live at the Clubhouse CD (2002). Songs from this period also appear on the Tom Tom Clubs DVDs, Time to Bounce and In a Bootleg Style. Mystics work has crossed over both into film and advertising. Covering Jimmy Cliffs Many Rivers to Cross, he sang co-lead vocals with Tina Weymouth on the Tom Tom Club's remake of the world-renowned hit for the movie "The Long Kiss Goodnight", starring Samuel Jackson and Geena Davis. Later, the track Who Feelin It from The Good, The Bad and The Funky was used in the urban thriller, American Psycho. Mystics voice has also been put to good use in commercial sessions at Bigfoot Studios (NYC). Mystic has enjoyed the fruits of countless collaborations far beyond his reggae roots, having performed with a variety of funk and rock units. During the heyday of Jamband scene whether at Sierra Nevada Music Festival, the Gathering of the Vibes, Camp Creek, or appearing at the Jammies at Roseland Ballroom he has performed onstage with the likes of the B-52s, Trey Anastasio (Phish), members of Widespread Panic, and Warren Haynes, a small but diverse sampling, and testament to his drive to bridge musical genres. Mystic has been a frequent onstage guest of funk-rock unit Deep Banana Blackout over the years, and recently collaborated with the Bomb Squad featuring Jen Durkin on the song, El Stinko, from their upcoming CD. Mystics interest and efforts in working with musicians from all backgrounds is best exemplified in his most recent CD, Rebirth, (2002) an album resulting from his collaboration with musicians blending styles from the heart of Jamaican and Caribbean music with compatible New Orleans funk and zydeco elements.
