I've posted a few new pictures that our friend Jeff Pouland took at the Rex Theater in Galax, Virginia. You can check out some of his amazing photography work at http://www.jeffpoulandphotography.com/.

Now that we have a couple of weeks off, we are taking some time to polish some material that's going to be on the next record, and are learning a couple more songs: one of mine, entitled "Drag the River", an older gospel song called "River of Jordan", and we've been kicking around some ideas of "I'm Gonna Lay Down My Old Guitar."

Stay tuned!

This video clip came from the backstage at the Tennessee Fall Homecoming, in Norris, Tennessee. They have one of the most realistic looking Abraham Lincoln impersonators that I've ever seen. Lincoln always seemed to be breaking out his musical saw to play for people, so we asked him to jam with us on a few tunes. Enjoy!

There are new kittens at Mueller central command! On the left, you'll see Delicious a.k.a The D.O.G., and on the right, you'll see Fluffy a.k.a. What'sup What'shappening.

It's the The D.O.G.!

Hog scalding is pretty intense.

Well, which is it?

Boilin' down the molasses.

Sarah was suspicious of the affectionate couple in the background--I think they were probably suspicious of us as well, judging by the look on that guy's face.

MUSICAL HAPPINESS IS NEW GUITAR STRINGS

I'm proud to announce that The Muellers now endorse GHS Strings! I've been using GHS products for years, but I'm glad that we can make it official. A big thank you goes out to Ben Cole, Melissa Eben, and all the fine people over at GHS who are helping us do what we do best...wear out guitar strings really quickly.

Check out their website and give their products a shot. Laurah and I recently switched our mandolin setups to one of their light gauge sets, and they sound and play great.

Here's a couple of pictures from the radio show last month. Bear in mind that these were taken in the early morning. The Muellers are a lot of things, but we are definitely not early birds!

We're glad to finally be settling back down in Maine after a couple of busy months of performing and travelling. We had a great time playing at the historic Rex Theater in Galax, Virginia, on their Friday night radio broadcast show, and ended our trip on a high note by performing alongside the Grascals and Dailey & Vincent at the Tennessee Fall Homecoming. It's always a thrill to play bluegrass in Tennesee.

You might have heard us on the radio or TV this week; we've played in the studios of B98.5 and 92 Moose, filmed some performing and interview footage for WABI (that's the statewide news channel from Bangor, if you're not a Mainer), and are looking forward to another studio performance on WMHB (89.7) on Saturday morning. WMHB streams live on the internet, so check it out if you get a chance!

Here we are on stage at the Museum of Appalachia on Wednesday. It was pretty dang rainy, as you can see, but the weather had cleared by the time we played again on Friday, and it was a beautiful, beautiful day. As always, it was great to see and hear our friends in the Grascals and Dailey & Vincent. And I got to hang out with Charlie Acuff!

Pictures from the Quebec mini-tour. Enjoy!

We've had a great summer playing locally in New England, but we're starting to itch for some more road time. The Muellers will be appearing in northern Quebec this weekend, in West Virginia the next weekend, and then we'll be all over the place for a while. Look for us in Virginia and Tennessee in October and September. Hope to see you all down the road!

Also, we're going to be going into the studio after we return to New England to record our fourth album. The band is still batting around song choices at this point, so if there's a song that you REALLY REALLY like, and want to see on the new CD, you should tell us what it is.

I've got a couple of great live mp3s from some of our spring/summer touring that I'll be posting on our website and Myspace, so check back here often to make sure you don't miss anything!

Hi everyone! We just rolled back into town after spending almost all of May and June on the road. It's good to be back home. Everyone is relaxing and recovering from the thousand-mile drive back from Bean Blossom, Indiana.

I woke up to a picture in the local newspaper of the girls and I singing at the Blistered Fingers festival, down in Sidney, Maine. They've got some great acts coming through this weekend, and I recommend heading on down there to check it out. You won't be disappointed!

The Muellers are now on iLike and Facebook, so please consider adding us as friends on those sites. Every little bit of help is appreciated--we couldn't do it without you guys!

While getting the pictures for the Facebook site, I stumbled across some great pictures that had somehow never posted anywhere. Hope you enjoy!
