Details
Mishka is a Bermudian musician and singer/songwriter. A traveler and sailor at heart; his lyrics and sound are deep reflections of the reggae roots soul and consciousness of the Caribbean culture in which he grew up but which are equally infused by his hypnotically bluesy folk acoustic compositions and vocalizations. Mishka first emerged back in ‘99 on the independent music scene in London with his eponymously titled debut album put out by the influential Brit record label, Creation Records. Since then he has toured extensively throughout Europe, the Americas, Japan and Australia and has gone on to release 5 more full length studio albums, all of which have received worldwide critical acclaim. The most recent album, Roots Fidelity, was released in 2015 under Mishka’s own indie label Mishka Music and recorded and produced in Maui, Hawaii. Of Good Nature’s highly accessible sound concentrates on feel-good lyrics and technical musicianship packed into a potent blend of alternative, soul, rock, and pop. In Spring 2022, OGN sold-out its club headline shows and announced direct support to Michael Franti & Spearhead’s Follow Your Heart Tour heading to amphitheaters this Summer 2022. Of Good Nature performed at Summer Camp Music Festival, Bristol Rhythm & Roots, and recently announced their fourth invitation to Sail Across The Sun with headliner Train. March 2022, Of Good Nature released “Carolina Blue - Acoustic” following the release of “Looking For It feat. Little Stranger + Tropidelic” which premiered on YouTube’s Top Blogged 50 Playlist. The band was selected by Sierra Nevada as a featured artist for 'Doing Big Things’ and partnered with RoofAbove Charity raising donations through live-stream performances to help those in need in the band's hometown of Charlotte NC.
