STEEL MULE by Six Mile Grove

I met this band last summer at a small music festival. Their music immediately painted pictures in my imagination and captured my heart. Especially this song, "Steel Mule" written by Lead Singer/songwriter Brandon Sampson, about his 87-year old grandfather who is still an active farmer. After convincing Brandon to allow me to illustrate the song, I spent a day with his grandfather during harvest. This video is the product of that day. Wonderful man, wonderful song.
Six Mile Grove is a 4-piece band from Lyle, Minnesota whose roots and songs run deep in the family farm.

@horseyfarm37 Hey--I checked that video out and you're right! Never thought of that...like that video as well...

You can purchase Six Mile Grove CDs on their website---they are also on iTunes! I'm not allowed to post links here, but website is on the video. And yes, Brandon's grandpa is very proud of him!

I used to work with the Bass Player, Dezi. Really cool guy, rather quiet though
