THEIR NEWEST ALBUM TruVine, PRODUCED BY LEGENDARY DRUMMER MARCO GIOVINO (ROBERT PLANT, EMMYLOU HARRIS, NORA JONES) BRINGS A FRESH, NEW SOUND TO THEIR CRAFTED AND POLISHED APPROACH, KEEPING TRUE TO THE MISSION OF BRINGING AMERICANA, DEEP SOUL, COUNTRY BLUES, AND ORIGINALS AS ONLY THE MYSTIX CAN INTERPRET THEM.
