In Mark Jungers' world, songs need not fit easily into any one category. Country, roots rock, folk, and bluegrass music are not mutually exclusive. Mark and his band play what is at the heart of "Americana": gutsy, unpretentious music filled with spirit and spontaneity.
Jungers was a major player in the mid 80s Austin music scene, playing with a number of different bands including Hell's Cafe and The Masons. In the fall of 1994, he left Texas for Connecticut, where he began a solo career, and where his songwriting really began to prosper. He found regional success as the lead singer of The Motel Preachers, but Texas was calling, and he returned to the Austin area in 1997. The songwriting continued and he soon formed what is now Mark Jungers & The Whistling Mules. 2000 saw the release of Mark's first album, "Black Limousine", which gained him a strong Texas following. 2002 brought forth the second album "Standing in Your Way", and 2004 saw the release of "One for the Crow", which gained Mark national attention. The CD spent 14 weeks on the Americana Chart, 26 weeks on the Roots Music Report, 2 months on the F.A.R. Chart, and reached no. 2 on XM Radio's X-Country Weekly Rank List.
Mark and the Mules have shared a bill with Fred Eaglesmith, The Derailers, Guy Clark, Gary P. Nunn, Slaid Cleaves, Slobberbone, Sisters Morales, Trout Fishing in America, Billy Joe Shaver, Charlie Robison, Cory Morrow, The Gourds, Terri Hendrix, and the list goes on.
Mark's reputation as one of Austin's premier songwriters continues to grow, as an increasing number of musicians are performing his material. Adam Carroll and Susan Gibson, generally recognized as two of Texas' finest current batch of songwriters, and Canada's Roger Marin frequently collaborate with him on songs. He has also written songs for Sunny Sweeney, who is bursting onto the country scene.
Mark's long awaited fourth studio album "Silos and Smokestacks" was released in the fall of 2007, and his first live CD, recorded at the historic Gruene Hall, is scheduled to be released in early 2008.

Dear Mark Jungers Band, It's after Halloween and the busy holidays are approaching. Take a break and drop by to listen to my featured songs. You may find my music to be just the calm you need during this hectic time of the year. I appreciate your friendship and I hope you enjoy the music. I wish you much joy and peace.
The guitar I'm wearing, I'll have you know, is as equally as powerful as my 335 and way way way more gooder then that thing you call a 347. And further-my lake is way better than your river. Oh sure, you might have a bunch of really good songs, some great sounding records, a killer band, a wife who makes the best Gumbo EVER, but I got a Fender Deluxe and a Plymouth Voyager.

I am about half way done with my latest update to my page. Take a peek and listen to the first five songs from my up and comming cd. Right now the release date is in December.
A new feature is you can post your favorite song on your web page!
My new theme is about fall, with the songs having a sence of wanderlust and rambling on.
I hope you enjoy my pictures, and you will return to my page when it's completed. I'm currently recording the other five songs and putting together the final touches.
I hope you will take the time to listen, check out my pictures and (please, please, please) post a comment about your favorite song from my playlist.
I hope you are having a nice fall and take care. I hope to hear from you soon.

Well with two years of some horrible weather, and an average year of attendance last year, the Party in the Pasture has fallen on some hard times just like the economy. Well we all said the hell with that! If you got a good thing, you don’t let it fade away. And with Smokey putting his soul behind this thing for the last 11 years, it was the least we could do ta give him a hand. So that’s just what were doing. For years the proceeds of the event have gone to charity, well this year that charity is the event itself. So with no money, some good friends, Some great artist willing to give there time, and a beautiful piece of God’s Country, let throw one hell of a party and see if we can keep a South Texas tradition alive!!!
