BIO. . .BLOODY OL’ MULE was born into Oklahoma’s music scene in 2004 as a one-man-band drenched in traditional country, and blues with the smallest dose of madness, and grit. His influences include: Hank Williams Sr., Jr., and the 3rd, John Lee Hooker, Hasil Adkins, Charlie Feathers, R.L. Burnside, Son House, Slayer, Beaten Back To Pure and lots of real country, and blues, along with 1950’s rock'n'roll as well as good metal.
Shilo Brown started playing music at the early age of 15, and has always chose to play by himself than in a band due to the fact of his rhythms being odd, and jagged, as well as the fact that trying to find people that are reliable.
Bloody Ol’ Mule writes his own songs, and prefers to play his originals with all the grit, and horror that one could muster, producing enough original material to play a good, and healthy 3 hour set of his songs, with always more to come. Bloody Ol’ Mule’s sound combines elements of vintage rock'n'roll, blues, country, and good old foot stomping metal. Shilo Brown’s voice at times is gritty, and other times providing that high lonesome sound that cries out from the roots of Appalachia recollecting utter heartbreak and wanting, as well as pain, and a sense of power. Add a touch of rockabilly mixed with pure gritty blues rooted out of the south and you have Bloody Ol’ Mule.
BLOODY OL' MULE is a one-man-band from Oklahoma whose influences are sunk deep into traditional country, and blues, and rooted out of sludgy backwoods dragging metal. He now resides on the land he was raised on in Grady County, Ok. other wise known as Hell's Fringe. Bloody Ol' Mule wants to play live shows.

Bloody Ol’ Mule is the alias of Oklahoma-based, country-blues solo guitarist Shilo Brown, who also runs an art gallery and performance space called Electric Chair in Oklahoma City. Brown echoes the furious electric guitar and guttural yawps of outsider-wildman Hasil Adkins, but there's also plenty of honky-tonking Hank Williams Sr. and heavy-riffer John Lee Hooker in Brown's DNA. – by Christopher Bahn
