Blending rock, folk, blues, country, bluegrass and jazz – Mixed Business refuses to fall into any one genre. Using both vintage and modern instruments – the band has perfected a deep, smoky sound most bands don’t even attempt these days. Inspired by the likes of Johnny Cash, The Beatles, Tom Waits, and Muddy Waters (yep, the band has inspired covers from each!) Mixed Business throws the kitchen sink at a crowd.
The lineup includes talented vocals and an amazing combination of over ten acoustic and electric instruments – from guitars to the upright bass, from piano to drums and percussion, from the mandolin to the banjo, from steel drums to the accordion. If you can get a good sound out of it – Mixed Business plays it, stomps on it, shakes it & hits it!

Mixed Business is what you get when you make a band out of world-travelers, barroom regulars, and classically trained musicians. The band draws on decades of musical influences to produce a high-charisma, high-energy, bring-down-the-house show every time they step on stage. Their music has sold more beer and produced more cheers than just about any other band in Baltimore. It’s time you gave a listen to Mixed Business…
And don’t you dare sleep on their original work! Mixed Business busts out crackling-new tracks constantly. Their recent output takes you to the American heartland to ponder life and love with country-inspired ballads Guns & Gold, and Seasons In Love… drops you in the Deep South to drink whiskey with share-croppers on The Mule… plants you firmly in snowbound gypsy campsites and hot back-alley Spanish brothels with Yuliana and The Red Room, then meets you just down the street at your local bar to hoist a pint with the soon-to-be-a-hit-single drinking songs, Glove Box and Bottles & Bottles of Beer!
Mixed Business features many talented collaborators, a deep appreciation for the history and soul of music, and a setlist that spans all genres dating back to the 1930s. Check out Mixed Business today – the next time you hear them, it better be live! |
