Mustard's Retreat at the Homegrown Coffeehouse

Mustards Retreat -- David Tamulevich and Michael Hough, met in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1974, as short order cooks, both on hiatus from their studies at the University of Michigan. Discovering a mutual interest in music/writing and performing, they put together 3 songs one day after work, and took them to the legendary Ark coffeehouses open mike night. They were a big hit, and, on the spot, were invited back to do a 45 minute set 2 weeks later. Within a year and a half they had both quit the restaurant and were doing music full time. Forty-two years later, they have nine highly acclaimed recordings.

Mustards Retreat has performed more than 4,000 shows over those years, traveling more than a million miles. They've earned a dedicated following, many of whom have been coming to hear them since the 1970s. Their shows are an eclectic blend of old and new, with a big dash of storytelling. Michael and David joke on stage about attracting people "with long attention spans, but it is what Mustards Retreat gives them that turns audiences into such loyal fans.
