Mick Mullin

Mick Mullin is a plainspoken storyteller making original music steeped in country and gospel traditions. Nashville born and raised, he’s the son of a Kentucky coal miner's daughter and a Tennessee Bible editor—naturally his first taste of music came in the form of Baptist hymnals. His second album Mullin' It Over is a diverse set of vignettes digging deep into the soil of the American roots music tradition. Throughout, he contemplates his life up to this point: his choices, his mistakes, and his redemption.


Mullin’ It Over represents his growth both as a person and as a songwriter starting with his 2019 debut Music City Miracle. While the stories told are fictional, the experiences informing them are not, including his struggle with alcoholism and the renewed faith which saved his life. It’s a mature, forthright blend of country, gospel and bluegrass, hard truths, painful losses, back alleys and church pews. Throughout, Mullin is the unlikely hero at the center, radiating scruffy charm and most of all, sincerity. “I would rather be rejected for who I am than accepted for who I’m not,” he says, freely admitting that might not win him any popularity contests. “I’ve decided to carry the torch of original country and roots songwriting to tell the story of where I’ve been and who I am now because of it. I sing in dive bars and honky tonks on Saturday night and help lead worship in church on Sunday morning with the same flat top guitar.”
