Blue Mountain Myst
The award-winning band, Blue Mountain Myst, is comprised of Laura Ashworth, Beth Ihme, Bitsy Davis. The trio is accompanied by the Mysti Mountain Boys, Dennis Fitzgerald, Billy Berberette, and Jeremy Berberette.
Through sounds of bluegrass and alternative country, with a rootsy eclectic flair of Americana and folk melodies, Blue Mountain Myst’s original songs bring truth and dreams to life in harmonious melody. Their songwriting abounds with bluegrass, alternative country, pop, gospel, and blues. Transcending any single genre, the band writes songs reflecting life and honoring human existence.
Myst's two studio albums, Kitchen Jam and Lonely Highways, have received radio play on the Outbound Country Channel in Texas, and in Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, and they have twice been featured live on PBS. Blue Mountain Myst has performed in diverse venues across the Southeast, selling out in such major venues as Douthat State Park and the Stonewall Theater of Virginia.
Their Lonely Highways was selected to air on Outbound Music Radio in Houston, TX in October of 2008, and in February 2010, Myst had several songs selected for the Women of Substance Radio out of Los Angeles, CA. Their song True Love made the top ten on the station’s charts, and their amazing recording of Harlan was selected from several hundred songs to be on the Women of Harmony radio show, in the company of such groups as The Dixie Chicks, The Wreckers, The Indigo Girls and The Corrs. Their most recent project is a recorded tribute to Johnny Cash titled Angel in Black with Nashville producer Chip Martin which will be released as a single on the label of Steelhouse Records.
When asked what inspires them, they respond, “Our music is unique. We just have our own individual spirits and opinions and put them together in music.”
Their original music and quality of live performance would make
any Highlander proud to say they heard them live, right here at home.
