DownTown Mystic Hits the Road with New EP 'Mystic Highway Road Trip'

New York, NY – Sha-La Music announces the worldwide release of the Mystic Highway Road Trip EP by US Roots Rocker DownTown Mystic. The Orchard/Sony Music will release the EP to all streaming services worldwide on July 10, just in time for a summer road trip to RocknRollville USA. The EP will be released to US College Radio on July 21, with Brandon Day/Tinderbox Music handling radio promotion. The EP contains 6 songs, modern day rockers filled with positive vibes and energy. Tracks like Live (feat. harpmeister Jerry Fierro) and Losing My Mind (feat. guitar virtuoso Lance Doss) bring a message of hope in these turbulent times. The songs are bolstered by the same musicians who played on last year's Mystic Highway EP—the ace rhythm section of drummer Steve Holley (Paul McCartney, Elton John) and bassist Paul Page (Ian Hunter, Dion). Also included is the previously unreleased unedited version of Somebody's Always Doin' Something 2 Somebody (Uncut Mix), featuring a stellar performance by keyboard wiz Jeff Levine on piano and B-3 organ.

The track was edited and released as a single last fall prior to the release of the critically acclaimed Mystic Highway EP. It was that acclaim from reviewers that gave DownTown Mystic writer/producer Robert Allen the idea for the Road Trip release. Robert explains, 'There are so many talented reviewers out there who write with such cool insights that it blows my mind. I kept seeing reviews saying that Mystic Highway was a great soundtrack for a road trip, which I never thought about. It got me thinking, why not a summer road trip release?' The EP was recorded at the legendary Shorefire Studios in W. Long Branch, NJ under the auspices of Joe DeMaio, who engineered and added his talents on the guitar solos for Superstar and Shadow Walk. The EP was mastered by the legend, Leon Zervos (Crowded House, Maroon 5, Pink) at Studios 301 in Australia, who helped give the tracks his special sonic boost.

DownTown Mystic is coming off the success of the On E Street Remix EP, which features Rock'n'Roll Hall of Famers Max Weinberg & Garry Tallent from The E Street Band. Released in April, the EP featured remixed songs recorded back in the 80s at the same time as the E Streeters were recording the Born In The USA album with Bruce Springsteen. The remixes made the songs sound current and at the same time brought out an historic element not previously known. DownTown Mystic has been on a rock and roll with The Wish & Mystic Highway releases in 2025 and continues the rockin' trend in 2026 with On E Street Remix and Mystic Highway Road Trip. Considered to be one of the top sync-licensed artists in Rock with music in over 250 TV shows and films, those talents are on full display on the new EP.
