Hope you enjoy what you hear!Michael and Justin (aka Mystery)____________________________________________________ ___________________ "John Martyn, Eno, Bowie and Blur can all be found in the bands influences. Live, Mystery are Michael Watson on Guitar and Vocals, Justin Barry on Drums, and Guests. Swirling chords, mantras and psychodelic patterns played in a jazz format- Mystery will move you-Enjoy the journey."
