Who are Mystic Weirdos? Ah that is a question. The most basic answer is Jay Hamilton and Maurice Colasurdo. This duo plays a range of instruments in a range of styles and happily flounder around in this world of music. As of 2021 Darryl Estes has been adding to the chaos playing winds, mostly sax. They also like to tell folks, “we are a duo (trio?) of older guys who should know better.” Whatever you want to call this unique blend, we are happy to have finally discovered these new recruits (for us, that is) and add them to our roster.

In August of 2022, we released their excellent EP, The Best Seat in the House, which is but a sampler culled from their extensive back catalog. More recently, in February of 2023, we have been delighted to release their Alchemy project, an album featuring 23 of the best tracks, from the 50 they’ve recorded in the past year or so. Among the highlights is Secret Wishes, which features some great sax work, and the sensual, bluesy groove of Devil’s Highway. As always, though, all of the songs feature Hamilton’s smooth vocals and Colasurdo’s genre-blending guitar work, so fans of jazz, rock, blues, or any combination of the above in any form are sure to enjoy their work.
