Hello friends:
We wish you all a happy holiday season and a healthy new year!
Oh and a couple things McMule related ;)

We're excited to be involved in the genesis of a new intimate concert venue in NYC. Founded
by two alumni of the legendary Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ. (some of the best shows we
ever attended were at the Capitol) Live At Studio 201 is the most unique venue for intimate
concerts in NYC. Seating capacity...200...no seat farther than 16 feet from the stage!

McMule in August
-
August 3, 2011
Welcome to August,
This looks to be shaping up into a fine month. Hope it's your best one yet. We've got a few festivals to play this month, we love festivals, so this really is looking like a good August already. Our first fest, this Saturday, August 6, will be the 3rd annual Folk n' Frisbee fest in New Berlin, NY. Hosted by the Same Blood Folk Band. Lots of great music from many great bands, good times and... frisbee golf... serious frisbee golf. On August 13th, we head into Laurelton, PA for the 6th annual Bear's Picnic. This event will host many great bands over four days featuring the likes of 7 Walkers (w/ Bill Kruetzmann (Grateful Dead), George Porter Jr (Meters), Papa Mali and Matt Hubbard), New Riders of the Purple Sage, The Everyone Orchestra and many more. On August 21st, McMule is at the Warwick Valley Winery celebrating the music (and influences) of the Grateful Dead at the annual Grateful Dead fest with several other bands.
Come on out... Get it right, do it nice.

McMule News for Summer 2011
-
July, 2011
In case you were planning on joining us at Banjo Jim's in NYC on 7/14, a scheduling snafu has made it necessary to postpone that gig. We will return, and you'll know when. If your plans are already made, go ahead, Banjo Jim's is a nice little place at 9th St and Ave C with a revolving lineup of great music all night long.
A little further down the line, McMule rolls into August playing the 3rd annual folk n' frisbee fest in New Berlin, NY with a bunch of local music hot shots and hundreds of our closest friends on August 6th. On August 13th, we can be found in Laurelton, PA at the 6th annual Bear's Picnic which will host many great bands over four days featuring the likes of 7 Walkers (Bill Kruetzmann (Grateful Dead), George Porter Jr (Meters), Papa Mali and Matt Hubbard), New Riders of the Purple Sage, The Everyone Orchestra, Great American Taxi and more. On August 21st, we'll be at the Warwick Valley Winery celebrating the music (and influences) of the Grateful Dead at the annual Grateful Dead fest with several other bands.
Until our paths cross... stay cool, have fun, think worldly thoughts.
