Welcome to Mystbilly. This is where I upload videos of my various musical ventures, including my band- the Mystery Hillbillies, and clips of me sitting in with friends. One day I may learn how to add other videos I see elsewhere on youtube. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy what you see/hear. You can find out where I'm playing live, hear some mp3s, or read my newsletter archive at my website below. Each month I write a newsletter that includes news, a gig schedule and a tour through youtube videos woven into a theme. If you love old country, western swing, rockabilly, and early r&b and boogie, you will enjoy these tours. Check out the archive at www.mysteryhillbillies.com/NL-ARCHIVE.html -Michelle Belanger

Rock Boppin' Baby -Mystery Hillbillies at the City Tap 6/24
Переглядів 834 місяці тому
This song comes from the Collins Kids, a sister and brother team that worked the country music circuit in the mid to late 50s. They were regulars on Tex Ritter's Ranch Party. They appeared on the Town Hall Party show many times as well. Larry and Lorie Collins had a bit of a revival in the 2000s, partly through their association with Deke Dickerson. I think Rock Boppin' Baby is a fantastic danc...

Brenda Lee was 14 when this record was out, and she was already touring the world. The Beatles actually opened for her in Germany on that tour. I just love this tune for the dance groove. Clearly the dancers at the venue did as well. The City Tap is in Pittsboro, NC and it's one of several neighborhood bars that we love to play in. Marc Brookshire on lead guitar Ian Finlay on upright bass Miche...

Late night swing jam Galax 2024
Переглядів 824 місяці тому
I wanted to get a recording of this fabulous guitar that my friend Brennan recently acquired. It's an L7 from the 1930s and the tone of it is absolutely amazing. It was made to be loud enough and biting enough to cut through while playing in an old swing band with a horn section, piano, upright bass, sometimes drums. That all could easily drown out a guitar, and it often did. This thing was mad...
International Kazoo Competition reading of the rules at the Galax old fiddlers convention 2024
Переглядів 474 місяці тому
The Galax Old Fiddlers Convention celebrated its 89-year anniversary in August 2024. For many years now two things have been staples of the gathering. One is the soup kitchen, started by our beloved and now departed Mary Edna, who got a message from Jesus one late evening when she and her fellow musicians found themselves hungry after forgetting to eat because they were so busy jamming. She was...

Rendering a classic at one of our favorite neighborhood bars. The City Tap is in downtown Pittsboro, NC. Another song that sits at the intersection of vintage country and r&b. It's a happy place for us. Marc Brookshire on guitar, Calvin Johnson on upright bass and harmony vocals. Michelle Belanger, fearless leader, on lead vocal and guitar.

A small glimpse of the Mount Airy Fiddlers Convention band competition. This is a small part of what inspires people to gather every first full weekend in June. We also come to jam in the campground and enjoy long friendships that have developed through the years. The Surry County Bobcasters are Nancy and Bill Sluys, of the Pilot Mountain Bobcats, and Ivy and David Shepard of the South Carolina...

Love Will Guide Us -Sweet Water Ramblers, Wheatland Festival 2022
Переглядів 672 роки тому
This year's festival ended with a big, heavy rain on Sunday afternoon. The Sweet Water Ramblers were scheduled second to last, but it was raining so hard that the other band would have gotten soaked just getting themselves and their instruments to the stage. So, the Ramblers added this song to the end of their set to give us all a lovely send-off.

Practically upskirt. Tired of the perv videos of dancers.
Clawhammer banjo in a bluegrass band. Cool
These guys cover bluegrass, vintage country, and some country swing. Excellent players.
Nice!........................................................
from Spain 👍💪🇺🇸🎵🤠🦝
That is some high energy controlled to perfection, love this, thank you all.
You're welcome. These guys are great players.
I love how this wonderful group is mixed with all ages!
It's great, isn't it? I don't know that young woman's name. i think she is probably a student at UNC School of the Arts, but I am not sure.
Music by the outhouse..
Whats the bike she is riding ?
This kind of energy always brings a smile to my face. Y'all get a lot more serious as soon as that final chord is done but I understand that, having played in front of folks before - you always concentrate being ready for what the next tune is going to be.
That was awesome!
Could've done without the porta potty backdrop😂
What is up with people complaining about the fact that there was a portojohn next to this jam? Do you think I should have airbrushed it out? Please. It just happened to be there.
I meant no offense. It just struck me as funny. I love this music and it simply amazes me that anyone can play instrument this well. People like me (no talent whatsoever) can find humor in just about anything. Thanks for posting.
He wore that bass out
AHHHHHHH ! That ain't NOTHING ! I seen a 10 foot Tall Gorilla in the Summer of 2000 between the Holdenpyle & Tippy Damn on the Manistee River !
I didn't know Big Foot came this far south
@@Mystbilly They are in every Continent.
@@Mystbilly Huron / Manistee National Forest. Isn't it a Coincidence that the ONLY President who had a second Hand " Wild Man " story to share ( Theodore Roosevelt ) Just happens to be the same guy who signed the National Parks & Recreation Act into being ?
Great🎉
Reminds me of the Old Settler's Reunion in East Texas back in the late 60's, hearin' my Grandpa up there playin' on the fiddle. Whole family on my Mom's side was musically gifted. Family gatherings were always a hoot.
Buck dancer was great !
Really great community; don't know about the toilet backdrop, though!
You’re playing one of the great songs ever ty👍🏼 great guitar lead mister
Wow!
Bravo!💐👏👍
came for the miniskirt ... stayed for the music
See you in heaven.
I am Mexican an I love this music god bless U GUYS an god bless THE ONE AN ONLY THE GOOD’o USA 🇺🇸
Thank you my Hispanic Brother from an old Hillbilly who loves Mariachi music.
I love this. It doesn't matter where the porta is. Better than peeing on ya self. Great music great band and dancer !
Super. Ja lässt es fliegen 😀✌🇩🇪
Would love to witness Walk off the Earth collaborating with this band - what an interesting and fun sound that would be!
Such a beautiful backdrop. I can almost smell the Appalachian spirit coming alive.
Or at least that Porto John 😂
Awesome
Loves me some mountain music!
That was great. Also… great spot for a port-a-John.
I've never heard of a bad place to put a port-a-potty lol
I was waiting for a guy to pop out the toilet with a second fiddle. Disappointed
Nice backdrop😁
Far away from city madness. Lovely.
That fiddler lost his air brakes
Love the toilet…
Hell yeah
Me: where y'all playing? The band: look for us near the porta potty
Gotta love the potty house in the background
i can just picture a bunch hillbillies doing the chicken dance. classic
Classy do you guys fiddle on the John
the sound guy channeling luigi
mt. airy? that's where ANG is from! "ooo, floyd. opie needs a haircut...oooo"
couldn't they find a better place to hang out instead in front of a outhouse
Somehow it seems appropriate that they are performing in front of a portable toilet.
There is a big fat guy in the porta potty!
Loveeeee It! The best Music!!
Killin It! Great stuff! You guys are in the zone with the best. Bass solo is off the charts!
They nailed it
You guys have it going on!
Holy Moses!!! This is so good!!!!
