singer/songwriter

With life comes tragedy and through tragedy art is born.  For John Mueller, an educator for over thirty years, tragedy struck his family in 1998, when after being struck by a drunk driver, John’s son suffered a massive traumatic brain injury. John turned to music for both its therapeutic value and as an escape. John’s original songs take the listener through a spectrum of thoughts and emotions.

From fear…”There are some places my mind tries to go. They’re deep and they’re dark and there’s nothing below…” (The Story of Karton Herz)

To spirituality…”And if your night should last too long…And if it seems as if the dawn won’t come…Just close your eyes…think of someplace nice, but don’t be surprised to see me there”  (There)

To optimism & hope…”Woke up this morning and I think I feel a little bit better…Looked out my window to see if there’s a change in my weather. Over there…I see what this is all about…A patch of blue in a break in the clouds.” (Better Day) 

Whether playing to a quiet dinner crowd or in a college bar, the audience easily connects to John’s songs which are performed in a way that belies the depth of the words and underscores the unexpectedness of life. Fans agree that a John Mueller show is an experience with extraordinary, acoustic rock that is both emotional and unparalleled in the Hudson Valley.

 John Mueller is a dedicated music artist known for crafting full-band sounds solo. WHAT YOU HEAR...IS WHAT YOU GET! Whether playing  acoustically, or using his own harmonies, backing tracks and effects, listen to how John sounds much more than just a solo performer.
