SidewalkMule

Sidewalk Mule was an Americana and bluegrass project that never got off the ground. Now a consortium of one, founder Eddie Brooks can be seen and heard on street corners throughout Maryland and the D.C. area, busking for wadded up dollar bills and the occasional five.  Before that he played everywhere, from places with busted out windows to corporate shows at the Lincoln Memorial, the Barnes of Wolf Trap and the Kennedy Center, plus the presidential yacht Sequoia where he was upstaged by Michael Feinstein (who played show tunes on Richard Nixon's piece-of-shit piano for the nerds onboard), plus countless colleges, boring parties and weddings. Most of those probably didn't work out. Such is life, yet all in all, it was worth it.

Fluent on guitar, bass, saxophone, banjo, cornet, tuba and voice, he plays another half dozen instruments badly and composes music for no good reason. Check out his other YouTube channel, GuestVocals24, for political commentary in the "musique concréte style.
