Welcome to The Mural and The Mint’s website. Below you will find our debut full length, “Private Pockets” available for free download. Please click the OUR RECORDINGS tab for older material. We are a listener supported band, so If you download the music, and you like it, please donate what you can so that we can make more of it.

We recently recorded a version of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire” for WXPN, who is doing a tribute to the Boss this fall.  It was recorded by Michael at his house with Jack and Eliza, and mixed and mastered by Brian McTear at Miner Street Studios.  Here it is for free download (right click and save):

Upcoming Shows

Our next show will be Saturday, 3/13 at Johnny Brenda’s opening for one of our favorite local bands, Oh! Pears (it’s a pun…get it?).  They are rad, it’s their record release show, and they feature our very own Jack McBrearty on first chair acoustic guitar.  The songs are wild, arranged for 13 pieces or some other unlucky number.  Also playing are Inlets, from NY, and they are quite amazing as well.  Long story short, buy your tickets now.  We have two drummers now.  Sometimes we refer to tham as “percussionists.”  They’re awesome.  And so are you.
