about mudsong
For the past decade, mudsong has been crafting original, tale-length concerts that sound the heartache and hallelujah of our breaking human hearts. Thomas King said, "The truth about stories is that’s all we are." The truth about mudsong is songstories are all we are.
Original stories. Fresh songs. Crafted from the sloppy, raw mess of life? That's what we do. As musicians, we anticipate our evenings to open on the hearthfire of the bass guitar, shimmy through the saxophone, and linger over heart and soul. We've been blessed to be featured on Lakeland PBS' Backroads and BSU’s Live.
If your head dips & nods like a descendant of Bill Withers, if your heart takes lyrical gut-punches from Dawes, or your hips wiggle to Stax’s Memphis Soul, you’ll enjoy the rollicking, sometimes reeling, ride that is an evening with mudsong.
Mudsong is Craig Haugen (guitar+sax), Shane Kingsland (bass), Pete McDonnell (drums), Mary Overlie (vocals, keys), and Grant Raddatz (everything else). We meet each other at the intersection of jazz, rock, funk and soul and call the northwoods home.

Patience:: the quality of being able to endure suffering without complaint; being quiet while waiting for something to happen.
Somethings take patience to be heard. Only on the far side of the canyon's wind will you catch its vibe. Sometimes what you see is beyond what you can comprehend. Only on the far side of the canyon's wind will you know what you saw. Sometimes, what you feel is beyond what you can endure. Only on the far side of the canyon's wind will you know how strong you've become. Patience, then, is to listen to the reverberations of life's experiences... and find their words. That's the spirit under which this collection of song was born. You can listen to the album on Bandcamp, or purchase it there as well. Feel free to download the liner notes & lyrics below.
