Start with two scoops of down-home country honky-tonk, then stir in a shaker-ful of Louisiana spices — like Cajun, Zydeco and New Orleans R&B — and you’ve got yourself a very special musical concoction we like to call “Swampy Tonk.” Miracle Mule has been perfecting this recipe for 16 years now, and that’s what makes us the most rocking, hoof-stomping, tail-swishing band in the North Bay. Three lead singers, rich vocal harmonies, rock-solid rhythms, extraordinary instrumental variety, superlative song writing and a great sense of humor add up to a sure-fire formula for fun. We play at  most of the more prestigious venues in the north bay, as well as a host of wineries, festivals and concert series.  We have a loyal following, but there's always room for more.  Check us out soon.  Dance, Laugh, Bray.

The Mules release a double-single!

Some of you may be old enough to remember the old days, when singles came on actual two-sided disks, and two sides meant two songs.  There was an A side, the one that got promoted and played on the radio, and a B side that was never as good, but came as a nice little bonus track.  So when the Mules started planning our 16th anniversary show, we decided to make the occasion even more special by releasing an old-fashioned two-song single (though this one would break tradition by coming with two A-sides).  Mules bandleader Geoff Mack and keyboardist Dick Bay had each recently introduced a new original song to the band, so the timing was perfect for a double-single.

The Mules ordered a week's worth of pizza, hung up a "Do Not Disturb" sign and sequestered themselves in Mack Shack Studios (more commonly known as Geoff's spare bedroom). In a handful of sessions over several weeks . . . Read More & Listen!

The Art of the Mule

During their first set at the Mules’ last Brewster’s show, the band couldn’t help noticing an audience member at one of the closer tables, who seemed to be glancing back and forth between the stage and a pad of paper on which he was . . . taking notes or . . . making a grocery list or . . . drawing?  As soon as we took our first break, several of the Mules converged on his table to see just what he was up to.  What we found was a sketch, well in progress, of all 7 Mules. 

The man turned out to be Seattle artist Mark Falconer.  He has done what he calls his “urban sketching” not only in his home town of Seattle, but also trans-continentally, in London and Milan.  And at some point he developed a sketching sub-specialty, namely band sketching, which he has done in Seattle as well as in the subject of so many Mules songs, New Orleans.  And now here he was in Petaluma, sketching us.  Read More...

New Single / New Video: Lucy

Geoff’s fun new song, Lucy, was released March 2 as a single, available on on Amazon, Spotify, etc. You can also watch the music video for Lucy now on YouTube. The video was created using artificial intelligence, which is great because we’ve been running a bit low on intelligence of our own.

Mules “Romp in the Swamp” Album Tops the Charts

Miracle Mule’s 3rd album, Romp in the Swamp, has been #1 on the Swampy Tonk chart for 44 straight weeks! It became an instant fan favorite as soon as it was released on March 5, 2022. There has even been talk of adding a “Swampy Tonk” category for next year’s Grammys in order to honor its extraordinary success.

Romp in the Swamp is available for purchase, download and streaming through all your favorite outlets, including Amazon and Spotify. Or you can pick up a copy at the next Miracle Mule show.
