Review: The Mystic honors Billy Joel, The Rolling Stones and David Bowie (Includes first-hand account)

The Mystic is comprised of such musicians as Sam Bello, Steven Bello, Jill Gioia, George Panos, Don McCabe, Dennis DelGaudio, Steve Engle, and Kevin Doolittle.

Their set at Changing Times included such distinct cover songs as Billy Joel’s “Zanzibar,” Paul McCartney and Wings’ “Listen to What the Man Said” and Eric Clapton’s “Lay Down Sally”; moreover, they had the Long Island audience clapping along with them on “Beast of Burden” by The Rolling Stones. It was a great show to see this Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

The Verdict

Overall, The Mystic is worth checking out if they are playing in town. This is a band that does their cover songs justice and they know how to jam out. Their live set at Changing Times in Farmingdale garnered two thumbs up.
