Downtown Mystic ' Better Day Digital 45

GENRE: POP/ROCK

"For the better part of 2024, US roots rocker DownTown Mystic has been on a roll with the successful releases of the Rock’n’Roll 4 The Soul album and its companion, the Rock'n'Roll 4 The Soul: Acoustic Sessions EP. DownTown Mystic will finish the

year with the release of the Better Day Digital 45. The release sets up DownTown Mystic’s next project, The

Wish album in 2025, which shows DTM’s RnR style & sound evolving.

The Better Day Digital 45 contains 3 tracks featuring long time musical partners and the rhythm section for

Ian Hunter’s Rant Band—drummer Steve Holley & bassist Paul Page.

DownTown Mystic Writer/Producer Robert Allen comments on the release, "I wanted to put out a positive

vibe and Better Day was the perfect song to do that. I'm also a big Tom Petty fan, and as a nod to Tom

(w/Mike Campbell), the track features a 12-string Rickenbacker guitar that he made a trademark of his

sound. I created the solo as an homage to TP and his memory."

Ridge Banks & Niki Evans "Lovin' All Over You"

GENRE: Country/Americana

"Lovin’ All Over You" is a heartfelt anthem that beautifully captures the whirlwind of emotions in the early stages of romance. This lovely duetencapsulates the essence of love's uncertainty—one moment feeling like it's the end, and the next, finding solace in each other's arms.

Featuring the velvety vocals of Nashville singer-songwriter Ridge Banks, the song harmonizes perfectly with

the powerful voice of 'The X Factor' Semifinalist and London's West End leading lady, Niki Evans.

The track showcases members of the Leicester University Orchestra and was co-written by Cheri Carmody,

Ridge Banks, and Dave Lenahan.

This ‘Wall of Sound’ collaboration bridges continents in its pursuit of musical excellence. The duet was

recorded and mixed at both Hidden Creek Studios in Nashville with Kevin Grenier and Deadline Studios in

Leicester, UK, with Adam Ellis. Nick Plews is on bass.
