Mule

Why do I make guitars? These ones, specifically.
You.

Don't freak out, it's nothing personal. It's just that when you're sitting in a song circle in the Shenandoah Valley and everyone is belting "Paradise" while playing guitars they made it means something. That when you just retrieved your stolen van from the middle of a Washington DC street and Dan Auerbach kicks on all his amps and rattles your ventricles by way of your rib bones, it means something. That when you're in the front room at The Hideout and Devil in a Woodpile is playing unamplified musicians did 100 years ago, it means something. That when you're clapping your hands in time with a bunch of strangers while Brothers Osborne is having the time of their life on stage, it means something.

That's where the Mule Bus idea came from. The guitars are a mechanism to connect people to music and to connect people to other people. So we drive to random places with guitars and beer to sit in shitty parking lots in Philadelphia and under storefronts in the rain in Chicago.
Because of you.

We are dramatically more alike than we are different. We stand for things, fail at things, struggle with things, lovingly rant about things that excite us. You wouldn't know that if you read things online. You wouldn't know that looking at what companies' algorithms show you. It's not real life.

When you're standing around with a bunch of strangers playing guitars, experiencing songs in person we all know the words to, when you see someone tear up at the line that gets you every time-that's empathy. The bones of being human are all the same, the clothes are different. The stuff that matters we all agree on - that we want to be loved despite our failings, that we want to give love, that we want to do the best we can but don't sometimes.

Thats the real stuff. That’s why.
