I really enjoyed talking to Ryan and Jill Kelly, the founders of Mule Train Records and Mule Fest about their plans for the label and growing the festival. They are some of the most ambitious people I've ever met.
Check out my article on them, and this weekend's festival in the Athens Banner-Herald: Mule Train: A label for two
