Muley's Mountain Coffee
Highway 21, Creekside, Just upstream of mile marker 24
As a small, rural, independent business Muley's embraces the independent spirit of lesser known musicians and bands.
In an effort to support and expose these musicians to a larger audience Muley's is excited to invite you up for Muley's Acoustic Sunrise concerts this summer.
Muley's Mountain Coffee Acoustic Sunrises are on a hiatus for now due to the snow and cold. Keep checking back as we are contemplating putting some shows together this winter.
Past Muley's Acoustic Sunrise Artists include:
Saturday August 23rd: Idle Chatter
Saturday August 30th: Lonnie Caldwell
Saturday September 6th: Lee Penn Sky
Saturday September 20th: The Very Most (cancelled due to weather)
Saturday October 11th: Rebecca Scott and Debbie Seger, Idle Chatter, and The Studs.
For now, we will post local and some not so local, lesser known bands and links to their web pages. Check them out and buy their c.d's. Seriously do it!
Please email any suggestions for bands to manager@muleyscoffee.com.

Jeremiah James: Americana/Country
Obvious classic influences like Cash, Nelson, Jennings, and Haggard. Not a stale cover artist Jeremiah. He pulls styles from the greats and put his own fresh twist on creating a new classic country.
http://cdbaby.com/cd/jeremiahjames
Michael Batdorf: Folk/Blues/Bluegrass
Not in the immediate area, but an amazing Idaho musician none the less! Michael can often be seen live in the infamous Silver Dollar Bar in Jackson, WY.

Merissa Wilson: Acoustic/Folk/Bluegrass
Another not so known, gem of an acoustic musician residing in the Teton's. Merissa's voice casually transforms you to a porch swing looking across a Teton sunset on songs like "Trading Dreams" and "Oh Susannah".

Delush: Acoustic/Indie/Folk Rock
Boise chic band. Nice harmonies. Just when you think you have them pegged as Heart influenced(not a bad thing) they bust into something more electonic and funky. Checks them out!
Delush

Ben Burdick: Freted/Frettless Jazz Guitarist
Not only a creator and performer of astounding jazz musicianship, Ben is a great all around musician. If you see him on the calander of ANY venue be sure to check him out.

Nathan Jay Moody:
I'm partial to Nathan's acoustic playing and he does it very well. Not your typical 3 chord progression.
He busts out some very cool blues and it's not your typical 12-bar shuffle.
This guy pulls off what the lighter waving ballad songs tried to accomplish.
His instrumentals rival virtuoso guitar greats like Adrian Legg. Very cool sound.

Mike Quinn
Mike's experimental approach safely walks the line between just enough and too much. No falling prey to the predictable angst that so many twenty somethings pigeon hole themselves into.

Not So Local Musicians:
Joe Bonamassa: Joe play's the guitar with the soul of an old bluesman. Ifluenced by all the guitar greats including: SRV, Clapton, The Three Kings, Robert Johnson, etc, and so on.
Joe Bonamassa's Web Page
Weary Boys: Boot stomping, hootenanny loving, beer drinking, bluegrass at it's best.
Austin, TX

The Wailin' Jennys: Folk/Acoustic/Folk-Rock
Allison Kraus times 3. At times, the sounds of these three wisp you into disbelief.
http://www.thewailinjennys.com/
Devon Sproule:
Clean cut country with some very unique and cool jazz sounds. It's hard to refrain from Nora Jones comparisons.
www.devonsproule.com
Tommy Emmanuel:
This guitar virtuoso is unbelievable.
www.tommyemmanuel.com
Paul Thorn: Acoustic/Blues/Country/Gospel
From Tupelo, Mississippi Paul is often introduced to new fans via his comedic approach to many of his songs. That is only the the tip of Pau's iceberg.
http://www.paulthorn.com/
Tab Benoit: Blues/Cajun
Tab Benoit knows how to get a juke joint jumping. Not known for his rehearsing, Tab's music is spontaneous and now.
www.tabbenoit.com
Old Crow Medicine Show:
Real music. Not reality show music. Real music. Nothing sugar coated or over produced with these fellows. A string band fashioned of musicians who respect the past and embrace the present.
www.crowmedicine.com
Amos Lee: Acoustic Soul/Folk/Blues
After obtaining local legend status in Philadelphia with his self produced EP in 2003, Amos Lee is known to a much wider audience with the help of Blue Note Records and folks like Nora Jones, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Paul Simon, and John Prine.
Amos Lee
Mississippi John Hurt: John has long since passed but his influence on legions continue. His effortless picking and masterful story telling fit well into a Sunday morning with a cup of coffee or glass of bourbon after a long days work. If you have never heard his music, you will soon recognize his uncanny ability to have his guitar "sing" the lines within his songs.
www.msjohnhurtmuseum.com
Jesse Dayton: Alternative Country and then some!
This guy has it dialed in. Sure you have to travel to Texas to see him but talk about a great musician and storyteller.
www.jessedayton.com
Brennen Leigh:
One more reason that Austin, TX is Austin, TX. It's your own damn fault if you don't find something to like about Brennen Leigh.
www.brennenleigh.com
Shotgun Party: Swing/Country/Other
Lot's o' noise for this 3 piece band. The vocals sustain an earily sexy, natural back in time, pulse.
Shotgun Party
The Joe Coleman Band: Blues/R&B
Their self written bio says it all "We are a newly formed blues band made up of old pro's" They play regularily around nortwest Washington.
