Mustard's Retreat (David Tamulevich & Libby Glover) with Dan Hall at Johnny's Speakeasy
At long last, Mustard's Retreat has produced their first album ever as a trio. It's titled 'Make Your Own Luck' and will be released in the Summer 2018. It's a fitting title for the three of them who have always sung the songs they enjoyed and cared about, regardless of the trends of the music industry and pop culture. They are committed to simply being themselves, not chasing fame or brass rings, while delighting in and connecting with their audiences as if they were family. The honesty of what they present onstage and the extensive body of outstanding original songs and recordings all contribute to a fiercely loyal audience that continues to grow. Music to cure what ails you was how one reviewer in the 1970s described them, and that is as true now as it was then.
Now approaching their 45th year, they've traveled more than a million miles and performed more than 6,000 shows, from pig roasts and pool parties to Lincoln Center Out of Doors, The Barns at Wolftrap and the Kennedys Centers Millennium Stage.
Their performances are always joyful and uplifting, as well as intelligent, thought provoking and insightful. They've recently begun referring to their career and touring as Defiantly Hopeful. In part due to their long career, but more as a statement about what the music has meant to them. Folk music is, at its heart, defiantly hopeful! Tamulevich says. We came of age in the 60's, at the confluence of Pete Seeger, Peter, Paul & Mary, Bob Dylan and the singer/songwriter revolution. We care much more about what we do and stand for and finding that common ground with our audiences, than fame or money: this is our community of choice, and we consider ourselves so fortunate to be here.

'I was born in 1958 so I grew up during the sixties and seventies in Flint, Michigan. Lots of changes took place there and around the world during that time, mostly in ways we relate to one another. My first musical memories are of the radio hits of the fifties. I was hooked. Then a musical revolution ensued in the sixties and seventies that continues to influence the shapes and topics of my songs. Music is my joy and passion. I love writing songs and I love singing them. Thanks for listening.'
