Blind Mule began its history as a progressive rock band called Gorp, which evolved a few years later into Golden Lake Diner, both formerly on Sonic Unyon Records. Both bands had successfully charted high on the college radio charts, and had the pleasure to play with many outstanding acts such as Sloan, Big Wreck, Ashley McIssac, Rheostatics, Big Sugar, Treble Charger and Hayden, just to name a hand full.
The two main songwriters of these bands took a break to rediscover what it truly was that made the soul breathe musically. As time progressed, Graham Peacefull and Joey Balducchi found what they were listening for and built a roots act in January 2007, incorporating a total of 6 members to fill out the sound.
Since their inception as a band, they’ve toured Canada 3 times since the summer of 2007, playing festivals throughout Ontario and BC, including It’s Your Festival (Hamilton, ON) with Tom Wilson and Tomi Swick, Artswells Festival (Wells, BC) with Caroline Mark and Geoff Berner, they headlined their first festival called the Arts Quest Festival (London, ON) in October 2008, and they were the surprise act of the day at the Grand Stage Festival (Paris, ON) in July 2008, alongside other acts Blue Rodeo, The Sadies and Matthew Good, to name a few of the bigger acts on the bill.
After completing their debut album 'The Gallery', Blind Mule got nominated at the Hamilton Music Awards ‘08 for ‘Best New Alt/Country’ act, and didn’t win, but got the best reception in their category.
Blind Mule are known to audiences as one of the more entertaining bands to watch, as they find it very easy to connect with all age groups with their own unique sense of personality, music, and humour.
Hey all! Just wanted to say it was a pleasure meeting you guys at the Nothern Lights Festival Boreal! You all sound great together, and such a unique sound! Hope all is well, and we hope our paths cross once again soon! Cheers. ~Byron from The Wild Turkeys
I'm hitting the road in a couple of weeks to raise money for War Child, Coast-to-coast – 50 cities – ALL PROCEEDS TO WARCHILD. Why? 66% of all war victims are CHILDREN. Shocked like me?
