Into The Mystic - Philly

Into The Mystic celebrates the music of the iconic Northern Irish songwriter Van Morrison. With a sound informed by folk, blues, soul, and jazz, Van’s music can swing you into a Wild Night with its hard-hitting early r&b style, or wrap you up with the Warm Love of its acoustic bliss. Seasoned local musicians will take turns singing Morrison’s signature tunes. Presented by John Short, with a band of noted players consisting of Raph Cutrufello(Hezekiah Jones), Chris Grunwald(Grizful Dead, Chris Grunwald & The Slow Response), drummer Jim Kittleman, bassist Lewin Barringer, and with horns and percussion to round out the ensemble, the group is poised to deliver the drama, power, and richness of the original recordings that are near and dear to so many. Join us in this rare event as we showcase these cherished songs in our own unique homage to Van's sorcery.
