Mindy Jostyn: Five Miles From Hope

Five Miles From Hope showcases Mindy Jostyn's extraordinary talents as a songwriter, vocalist and musician. With inspiring songs like "Time Be On My Side", a duet with Carly Simon, and "All Roads", the gripping "Common Ground" and the delicate, touching ballad "Different Light", Mindy Jostyn is sure to add many fans to her long list of admirers. Carly Simon, who catches Mindy's shows whenever she can, describes Mindy: "Her personal beauty shines through in all her many skills, whether as a songwriter, a fiddle player, a guitarist, a pianist, a mandolin player, harmonica player, percussionist...and the list continues. When she becomes a household name, we will all say, 'We knew it all along.'"
