BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Mighty Mystic, aka Kevin Mark Holness, was born in Jamaica, but he spent his formative years in Boston. In his late teens he discovered the city's small but vibrant hip hop scene and began performing as Mystic -- the childhood nickname of his father. He released his debut single "Red" in 2000, and by the middle of the decade he had scored several regional hits including "Riding on the Clouds" and "Revolution". His 2010 debut album Wake Up the World further established him as a reggae force to be reckoned with, drawing him out for extensive touring alongside big reggae acts like Steel Pulse, Damian Marley, and Toots and the Maytals. Mystic's rise continued in 2014 with his sophomore album Concrete World, a critically acclaimed collection that added bounce-worthy tracks like "Cali Green" and "Next Generation" to his vibed-out shows.
Mighty Mystic at Mickey’s Black Box was AMAZING. This is my second time seeing them there. The venue is awesome. Love being able to dance. The band is so talented and engaging. I hope they come back to Lititz again!
Show got moved inside to blue ocean hall cuz of the rain…usually would’ve been outdoors beach vibes but man way to turn those lemons into lemonade mighty mystic! The fans came out to support rain or shine and that dude delivered! Stellar job ????
Took way too long to hit the stage. But an Ok reggae band.
Mystic never ceases to amaze in the live show. He and the band absolutely killed it on Sunday night at Surfside. It still amazes me that he hasn't become a household name yet! The energy was great, vocals were great, band was great....
Love Tyler the bassist, always smiling, bangbangbang! I love to go to this show every year! Keep it coming and good luck with the Grammys, we are all rooting for Ya!
Cool club venue - not a bad spot in the house to see the Band. Never waited for a restroom or a cocktail. Thanks for offering coat check!
Great show!! Always like to hear Gorilla Finger Dub, lead singer does a great job!! Friends couldn’t believe that he sounds a little like Marley!
Had an amazing time The music the view and the beautiful weather
I'm going to be honest. I had never heard a mighty mystic song before going to this show. It was reggae night and they happened to be the main headliner. I am SO happy this is the night I chose to go. They were amazing! They're music is great, and they know how to put on a show. I was actually captivated by the while thing. I danced during every song, and was even able to catch on to most of the songs chorus because they were so catchy. Mighty Mystic has picked up a fan for sure.
Great time, great show. Only suggestion would be to to have Mighty Mystic start earlier and play longer.
