Mick Byrd - Roots Music from the Missouri Ozarks!

The Missouri Ozarks is both home and backdrop to Missouri Arts Council Touring Performer, Mick Byrd. A member of the MO Blues Society and Tennessee Songwriters Association International, Mick has performed at the legendary Bluebird Café in Nashville for over 20 years. An award from Billboard Magazine kicked off his music career in 1994. Mick brings fans an amazing array of original Roots Rock, Country & his signature “Ozark Blues.” Mick performs solo or with some of his very talented musician friends as a duo or band, creating “The Backroad Band.” Whether in his travels across Missouri, the United States or Ireland, people everywhere find common ground in Mick’s music.

My personal introduction to Mick Byrd may be the most unique and unusual yet. A lifelong friend of nearly 50 years and I were talking one day and she surprised me by telling me her 93 year-old mother confessed she had been married to a man before she was married to my friend’s father. His name was Curtis Byrd. My friend later met Mick Byrd totally by happenstance on the streets of Jefferson City, Missouri as he was setting up for a music gig at a place called Gumbo Bottoms. She asked are you related to Curtis Byrd? Why yes, he said…he was my father. Oh my…she replied. Your dad was once married to my mother. Now there’s a song in there somewhere.

My friend suggested at some point Mick get in contact with me. She thought my music connections in the Heartland may be of assistance to him. He did reach out to me and in March 2023 I had Mick on the Tasty Brew Music Radio Show. Enjoy my conversation with the pride of Vienna, Missouri, Mick Byrd.
