Washington DC-based alternative blues trio, Mission South, is a band with roots planted firmly in both past and present. Members Dan Miller (guitar/vocals), John Beck (bass/vocals) and Max Harwood (drums) met in the fourth grade and grew up within walking distance of each other’s homes, but have since come a long way. Now on tour promoting their debut EP and preparing for their next studio release, Mission South is bright eyed for the future.But the band’s story is not the only aspect of Mission South that bridges the gap between old and new. As can be seen on their latest release “Migration Vol. 1,” the band effortlessly fuses classic blues and folk styles with more modern colors and tones. The “Migration” series will aim to capture Mission South’s journey as they transform a childhood dream into a professional endeavor, all the while, never forgetting their roots.Kind words about Mission South:“The band’s unique blend of strong songwriting, powerful vocals, and captivating live performances, has had many of D.C.’s favorite local acts singing their praises. With each of its members having just hit the ripe age of 21, this band is budding with talent that many are touting as the next big act to emerge from the local scene.”- OnTap Magazine“If Ben Harper had a baby with Pearl Jam, and raised it on New Orleans soul, Mission South would be the result.”- NewRockstar Philosophy“Mission South takes decidedly Southern blues up a notch with heavy riffs and hard beats.”- LivingSocial
