Americana Roots singer/songwriter, Mick Byrd, writes folk, rock, country and Mick’s own “Ozark blues” songs. He has six CDs and a two-song CD benefiting Special Olympics Missouri.
Mick has won a national songwriting award from Billboard Magazine for “Afternoon At The Wall.” His guest performance on “River City Folk,” a NPR program hosted by Folk Artist Tom May, has been repeated. “Drivin' That Lawnmower to Town” and “This Old Truck” have been played on the NPR Program “Car Talk,” hosted by Tom and Ray Magliozzi. Mick has also performed twice on “Writer’s Block,” hosted by Karen Reynolds on WDVX in Knoxville, Tenn., a program devoted to independent artists, and has the experience of playing on the road in 14 states and the country of Ireland. Mick is a member of the Missouri Arts Council's Performing Artists Roster, the Mid-America Arts Alliance Touring Roster, Nashville Songwriters Association International and the Americana Music Association.
Clint Harding, host of “Blue Highways/No Limit” on KOPN 89.5 fm in Columbia, Mo., says, “Every song comes with it’s own story (although rarely necessary to get the point), and when delivered in a relaxed south central Missouri drawl one can feel that this is what it must be like to sit around the cracker barrel on the general store porch on warm summer nights listening to the local storytellers.”
