~ A ROCKING STRING BAND ~
MADE FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION
The Bucking Mules throw down some of the most exciting and engaging Old~Time music being made. Drawing from their deep study of old 78s and visits with older master musicians, the Mules distill the tradition into driving, heartfelt performances tailored for contemporary audiences.
To hear all the tracks, download, or buy the CD, or vinyl of Smoke Behind the Clouds, or our 2014 self-titled release below, go to our BANDCAMP page.
The Bucking Mules had some fun plans for 2020, including a tour in Australia, and performing/ teaching at festivals, however for us and everybody else, it was not to be. You can catch us as a band and as individuals, or 'pods', at internet events and postings that will be announced or unannounced on our facebook pages!
