Tim Bond, Preston Dukes and Joshua Bomberger got together one night and stayed up all night, fueled by the powder in the air, they recorded this song. It took all night, but it was well worth it. Take a listen.

Muleskinner Jones

Muleskinner Jones

The story of Muleskinner Jones is  a long and fairly unpleasant one so we won’t bother you with the messy details. But it’s safe to say a deep love of every kind of country music (apart from that kind) and avant-rock means you’re as likely to find him listening to Bob Wills And His Texas Playboys as to Captain Beefheart. Jones also enjoys good red wine, horror movies, westerns, and video games. He is socially inept and lives in Southwest England.

Hatti Moss

Hatti Moss lives in Washington State and plays regularly in venues there. She states, “Born and raised in Umapine, OR – i was raised on bluegrass, country, and some rock. i learned to play guitar from my father and brother at 14, and have been sticking to the same basic chords i learned back then, ever since. i’d like to think i have an unique sound of my own, however, i’m more of a cover artist, then a songwriter. fortunately, i have plenty of friends who are songwriters… and they help inspire me to keep trying, while supplying me with amazing songs to sing all the while.” Here Hatti covers Bed, originally written by Dirk Michener.

Becky Album Cover

Dirk Michener and Travis Catsull started playing New York City style experimental country music in 2002 on a balcony in Denton, TX and formed Charles Potts Magic Windmill Band years later. Naming themselves after the Pacific Northwest’s most famous poet, Charles Potts, seemed to make perfect sense. Funny, thought provoking and blatantly honest, their audience includes bikers, poets, folk enthusiasts, old people, indie rock fags and screaming drunk girls. The song I Got A Girl is from their 2nd album entitled Becky and was recorded on handheld @ 4321 Airport in Austin, Texas.
