The Rented Mules: stubborn Americana music with a twang

Now booking bars, breweries, festivals and backyard parties.

Book the band

Half borrowed, half ours

We’re a country and Americana band. We split the night about evenly between songs other people wrote and songs we wrote ourselves, and we play them so you can’t always tell which is which.

The covers

They go all over the map: alt-country, old Texas honky-tonk, heartland rock, and country played with a jam band’s patience. If a song has a good story or a good groove, it’s fair game, and we’ll make it sound like ours.

The originals

The other half comes from the band: shuffles, story songs, a few slow ones for last call, and the occasional long ride out when the room is up for it.

Come for the songs you know. Stay for the ones you don’t yet.
