ON THE ROAD WITH JUSTIN MYCHALS, APPALACHIAN BALLADEER
Now booking, Appalachian Soul singer-songwriter and national recording artist Justin Mychals provides ideal entertainment for theatres and listening rooms. His name belongs on your marquee, his music on your stage.
Justin Mychals hails from the heart of Southern Appalachia in Kingsport, Tennessee. Mark Twain set to music, as heard throughout his five albums, Mychals’ songs cradle the ear and inspire the mind to imagine. He’s a storyteller. His stories, for instance the mesmerizing “Lilac,” often encompass Appalachians including his own family. Yet like Twain, Mychals’ stories transcend the South and Appalachia to elaborate upon humankind.
The roots of Mychals’ raising run deep. As heard in his latest album, “Appalachian Mountain Soul” and such songs as “There Ain’t No Coal No More,” Mychals writes often of hard times and stout people long past. Yet with equal parts verve, sentimentality, and vitality, he’s as relevant today as James Taylor or Bruce Springsteen. Talent never goes out of style.
Roots provide the backbone of Mychals’ music. As with his forthcoming album, “Live in America” (due March 2026), his music transcends time and place. In connecting with the past, he makes sense of today while he strides into tomorrow.
Mychals’ audience love him. He has made a number of marquee appearances. Among them, two times he wowed audiences on PBS’ nationally syndicated live music television show, Song of the Mountains. He tours nationally. Enthusiastic crowds from New York to Chicago to Nashville embrace Mychals’ oft-panoramic and picturesque songs and performances. Online, his music video for “Die with An Empty Gun,” which hit number one on You Tube, garnered more 500,000 views via You Tube and Facebook.
