Armed with
an arsenal of instruments, Mythica takes listeners on a sonic rollercoaster ride.
Whether it’s a funky Celtic jam, jaunty bluegrass tune, soulful
ballad, or driving acoustic rock piece, Mythica’s songs are inventive
but accessible, fresh yet familiar. Influenced by Irish, Scottish and
World music, and by contemporary artists like Tori Amos, Sarah
McLachlan, Simon and Garfunkel, and Led Zeppelin, Mythica’s sound is a
melting pot of genres tied together with powerful vocals, addictive
melodies, provocative lyrics, and interesting instrumentation. Mythica,
led by award-winning songwriter Melissa Cox, tours nationally, with
most bookings in the Mid-Atlantic and Colorado regions.
Since 2005, Mythica has shared the stage with some of the biggest
names in the Celtic, folk, and pop/rock markets, including the Spin
Doctors, Sister Hazel, Black 47, the Makem Brothers, Celtic
Crossroads, Tom Chapin, Young Dubliners, Catie Curtis, Maggie Sansone, and many others.
They have appeared at some of the largest festivals and most
prestigious venues in the United States, including the Long Island Irish
Festival, Richmond (VA) Celtic Festival, Pittsburgh Ethnic Festival,
Finger Lakes (NY) Wine Festival, Frederick MD & Southern MD Celtic
Festivals, Harrisburg (PA) ArtsFest, The Tin Angel (Philadelphia), The
Baby Grand Opera House (Wilmington, DE), Dewey Beach (DE) Music
Conference, Brazenhead Irish Pub (Columbus, OH), Woodrow
Wilson Plaza (Washington, D.C.), The Purple Fiddle (Thomas, WV),
Sellersville (PA) Theater, and hundreds more.
