Mick's home is known as the Birthplace of Country Music, Bristol, TN is where artists such as The Carter Family, Jimmie Rogers and Uncle Dave Macon first made their voices heard. Mick has been immersed in that musically rich culture his entire life and his music reflects it. His songs are influenced and infused with his love for Country as well as, Blues, Heartland Rock, a little Bluegrass, Gospel, Folk, and everything else he heard floating through the hills, valleys and mountains in the Southern Appalachians. His songs are mostly introspective and laced with themes that connect his perspectives with the listener through universal experiences and emotions. This integration of musical influences and universal experiences is how Appalachian Soul was born. You can find Mick Kyte's music on Pandora, Spotify and YouTube.
