Maintain

Available on all platforms May 3rd, 2024

🌵 Hudson Mueller sings songs and tells stories, often at the same time. He creates a whimsical world where listeners can drift on the “cauliflower wind” or float alongside a styrofoam cup as it washes out to sea. In a music industry that's often dominated by slick production, Hudson’s songs are refreshingly raw and human.

Born and raised in Austin, TX he cut his teeth with local folk favorites The Hudsons (AMA Best Folk Band 2007, 2009). In 2009, Hudson set out for New York City and formed The Gold Magnolias which quickly became one of the city’s most exciting southern soul bands. In 2018 he released “11 Stories: Live from the Urban Campfire”, a collection of his best story songs recorded live in the studio before a rapt audience of friends and fans.

On his latest single, "Money vs. Fame", Hudson returns to a rootsy Americana sound including fiddle and pedal steel. Part of a full-length album to be released in 2024, the song examines the darker sides of “success.” The follow-up single “Maintain” (coming May 3rd) strikes a more hopeful tone — perseverance in the face of adversity — and features a gospel choir.

We’re not going to do the three-artists-who-he-sounds-like thing in this bio but we will say that Willie Nelson is his spirit guide, John Prine is his songwriting hero, and Tom Petty…well, Tom Petty just plain rocks.🌵
