The Mystix

The Mystix deliver a raw, road-worn blend of Americana, roots, and blues, led by Boston's own Jo Lily. Original cofounder Bobby B. Keyes helped shape the band's signature sound before going on to work with artists including Peter Wolf and Bettye LaVette. Jo first broke out as the voice of cult rock favorites Duke and the Drivers before earning acclaim as a songwriter whose words cut deep. Anchored by a New England lineup with credits spanning Peter Wolf, Robert Plant, Bonnie Raitt, and Bob Dylan, The Mystix have built their reputation across more than 20 years, 9 studio albums, and over 2 million Spotify listeners, with collaborators tied to Muddy Waters, Levon Helm, and the North Mississippi Allstars. The Chicago Sun-Times dubbed them "the greatest swamp band you've probably never heard." Coming to intimate venues throughout the Northeast, The Mystix Unplugged offers a stripped-down acoustic take on the band's music. Featuring Jo Lily on acoustic guitar and vocals alongside Marco Giovino (Robert Plant's Band of Joy), Marty Ballou (Peter Wolf, Duke Robillard), and Kevin Barry (Peter Wolf, Ray LaMontagne), the ensemble brings a fresh perspective to Mystix favorites and new material alike. Special guest appearances from three-time Grammy winner Larry Campbell helped shape the acclaimed Mystix Live and Unplugged recordings. At their heart, The Mystix are storytellers, crafting original songs steeped in the American experience and delivered with grit, soul, and conviction.
