Mulebone

Ages 16 and up
Tuesday, July 08
Doors | 7pm // Show | 7:30pm

***THIS SHOW IS IN THE THEATER, WHICH IS ON THE 2ND FLOOR & ACCESSIBLE ONLY BY STAIRS. We would love nothing more than to be able to welcome every human into the theater and are working really hard to have an elevator built in the near future.***


Mulebone
is the partnership of multi-instrumentalist John Ragusa and roots music specialist Hugh Pool. The launching pad for their musical expression is traditional blues.

John plays conch shell, Jews harp, cornet, all manner of flutes, and tin whistle—and chimes in on the harmony vocals.  He is member of Beth Nielsen Chapman’s group as well as his own John Ragusa outfit, and plays regularly in conjunction with Deepak Chopra’s speaking engagements. Among dozens of studio credits are contemporary jazz greats Joe Taylor and Jeremy Wall, and world music icon Tom Ze.

Hugh sings and plays guitars, harmonica, and boot board, all with a mouth full of whiskey and a giant heart. He has played his brand of blues in clubs and at festivals from Jakarta, Indonesia, to North Cape, Norway; from Vienna, Austria, to Ottawa, Ontario, and has been critically lauded by The New York Times, New York Press, The Village Voice, Pittsburgh Press, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Blues Revue Magazine…the list goes on. He is also a noted recordist and producer who has worked on hundreds of records at his Williamsburg, Brooklyn, studio, Excello Recording—including sessions with Taj Mahal, Debbie Harry, Marshall Crenshaw, and even Molly Ringwald.

Together in Mulebone, Hugh and John play slide guitar boogies, 1-chord trance riffs a la Howlin Wolf, the up-tempo rags of Reverend Gary Davis, and country blues of all shapes and colors. Sometimes they play close to the source, almost as if tracing the image, and at other moments, they reexamine the source, float above it, take a new look as one understanding their home from a distant land.
