US Rocker Releases New EP Featuring E Street Band Icons Max Weinberg and Garry Tallent
NEW YORK, NY, March 11, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Sha-La Music announces the release of the On E Street Remix EP by US Roots Rocker DownTown Mystic on April 3. The EP features the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame rhythm section from Bruce Springsteen's legendary E Street Band—drummer "Mighty" Max Weinberg & bassist Garry Tallent. The On E Street Remix EP will be distributed worldwide by The Orchard/Sony Music and drops at Non-Com/College Radio on April 7 with Brandon Day/Tinderbox Music on radio promotion.
The On E Street Remix EP contains 6 tracks, including the thought-provoking Way To Know , the emotionally intense And You Know Why and the lead single, rocker Hard Enough. The single has been receiving substantial airplay on Worldwide Radio and the Hard Enough video has surpassed 550,000 views on YouTube. Also included is the explosive Sometimes Wrong, remastered by Leon Zervos (Pink, Crowded House) and the brand new instrumental And You Know Why (TV Mix). What makes the release extra special is Max & Garry recording together as the rhythm section for an artist other than Bruce Springsteen, a true rarity.
DownTown Mystic writer/producer Robert Allen's main goal for the EP was to give the tracks a fresh sound and showcase the brilliance of the 2 E Streeters. The backstory also adds depth to the release. Recorded during the same period Weinberg and Tallent were shaping one of the most influential albums in rock history, Born In The USA, the On E Street Remix EP carries an unspoken historical weight. Robert and Engineer Joe DeMaio revisited a pivotal moment in Robert's career, remixing the tracks at Shorefire Studios, where they were originally recorded. Robert recalls, "I was trying to develop as a solo artist when we made these recordings. The experience of playing with Max & Garry changed everything for me."
The On E Street Remix EP comes at a time when DownTown Mystic has been on a roll with a string of releases that bring an old school sound to modern day Rock. His motto "vintage yet modern" is creating awareness for his brand of rock'n'roll and gaining respect in music circles. The artist's creative roll began in 2023 with the AmeriKarma album, which attracted a larger audience with over 3 million streams, followed by RnR 4 The Soul (2024), The Wish (2025) and Mystic Highway (2025). Music Supervisors discovered the artist's music with Way To Know launching a stellar sync-licensing career, with over 250 TV shows, starting with The Voice. Sync-licensing success reached a high point in 2025 with 3 songs placed in 2 star-filled movies—Sovereign and Everything's Going To Be Great.
The new EP should also help solidify DTM's critical success. Robert adds, "If you want to make a rock'n'roll statement then who better to do it with? I think E Street is probably the most famous street in rock'n'roll history." Take a spin on it now.
