When Miracle Mule was born 15 years ago, 5 of the 7 Mules (that's over 70% of the band!) lived in Marinwood.  Geoff and Brian, the only 2 original Mules remaining, still live there and the band still considers Marinwood its home base.  Marinwood's Music in the Park concert series has been around nearly as long as the Mules.  And for most of that time the Mules have been  vying for a chance to play in that festival, but it never happened.  Until now!  Yes, that is all changing, as the Mules will be headlining this Friday night's Music in the Park concert!

An interesting and hard-to-describe band called Ginger Beat will open the show at 6 pm.  They characterize their sound as ranging from blues to bluegrass, salsa to rock-and-roll, with a driving groove.  No, it's not swampy-tonk -- and they don't even wear cowboy hats -- but it sounds fun.

The Mules will take over around 7 and will go full-tilt till 8 -- or until they make us stop (whichever comes 2nd).  Finally the home-team Mules will get a chance to show Marinwood what swampy-tonkin' is all about.  So c'mon out and be a part of the historic occasion.  Be sure to bring a picnic blanket or lawn chairs -- along with your dancing shoes of course.  Marinwood Market will be offering some reportedly delicious barbeque, and there will be a bar for the adults (actual maturity not required).

Marinwood Park is adjacent to the Marinwood Community Center, which is at 775 Miller Creek Road in San Rafael.  So y'all come & help us make our years-in-the-making Music in the Park debut a real blast!
