The former front man for the 70’s powerhouse Duke and the Drivers, Jo Lily has assembled a quintet of some of Boston’s most respected and heralded sidemen to form The Mystix, Boston’s best unknown export since Dropkick Murphys. The formula is pretty simple...take guitar legend Bobby Keyes, put him in front of one of the most precise rhythm sections on the east coast, Marty Richards and Marty Ballou (The M&M Brothers) mix in the keyboards of Tom West...wait, we need a singer, maybe another axe...the Dylanesque grit and credibility of Jo Lily ought to work. “Damn! I want to hear that band.” The resulting Blue Morning is everything you imagine it could be. Something for everyone as long as everyone includes ‘real’ music people who don’t compromise on the quality of their music. You probably know a few of them, or you are one yourself. This record is for you. We sat down with the band’s founder and co-producer Jo Lily to talk about music, history and his new band. Click here to read the interview...
