Michael McNevin: Home
Howdy Mudheads, and welcome to the Michael McNevin page for touring, recordings, and other things at Mudpuddle, ink. The above picture is me pickin inside The Mudpuddle Shop, a converted old barbershop in my hometown of Niles, that now hosts concerts, jams, and artists. It's also full of my original Etch A Sketch drawings, all hangin on the wall waiting for an earthquake. As Mitt Romney's new "Etch A Sketch Platform" is all over the news, and as the 2012 GOP campaigners flog each other with ever increasing methods and unexpected red blunt instruments, I expect to see a bump in my "Etch A Sketch" song listens, and increased views of my art. If The Ohio Art Company can see a 1500 percent bump in toy sales, maybe a folkie can score a few song and art downloads!! Here's the link into to a free download of the "Etch A Sketch" Song: http://www.michaelmcnevin.com/audio/MICHAEL_MCNEVIN-EtchaSketch-3.mp3 Share it with friends! (BTW - Many of the drawings that accompany the "Sketch" CD tracks are now posted for all to see on my Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/mudpuddlemusic. Visit and be my best friend.
As Etch A Sketch Mania continues, and TV shows call me to opine on the little red art form and the political climate, I'll still be gigging. Come to a concert around the bay this month - Oakland, Livermore, Alameda, Hayward, plus lots of shop concert cobills in Niles with friends. I also have a stint up in Seattle in early May. Still booking gigs in April and beyond. Wanna host a gig yourself? I do house concerts quite a bit, just invite 20-40 friends over -- you'd be surprised how easy it is to fit a respectable amount of folks in a typical living room. (unless they're unrespectable, which is probably ok too...). DO check the site calendar for all the details and more gigs to be added. Lastly, the Mudpuddle Shop shop is also going to be hosting songwriter workshops soon, guitar lessons have already started, and other special events along the lines of poetry slams, poker night, and an Obama Fundraiser Night are on the way too - feel free to inquire about all that directly at the shop phone: (510) 794 9935, or by email: info@michaelmcnevin.com, or at facebook: www.facebook.com/mudpuddlemusic

I'm looking for a couple gigs to add to my trip in the Seattle area in early May. I'm in Olympia WA on Sat May 5th, and could use a house concert or other shindig on the 3rd, 4th, or 6th of May! Have a living room? I'll play in it. BYO etch a sketches tho.
Have a great Spring,
