Our founder has been involved in music his entire life and started performing solo shows in 2012, playing at local venues. After two years, he was encouraged to form a band to take things to the next level. He put the word out to fellow musicians that he was looking to put a group together.
John Hindman & The Mustang Mafia had our debut performance in August 2014 when our founder was given a spot at a benefit for a drummer friend in need. He had just got hooked up with 3 musicians who were chosen for the band, and we were able to throw together a 3-hour rehearsal. We got up and played a list of standard covers with a little twist here and there, and everyone loved us.
From there, the setlist has grown tremendously to include country, rock, blues, southern rock, and dance music, making us a Multi Genre Band. The musicians have come and gone, with some amazing talent and friendships built. The light show has grown from can lights to LEDs, lasers, and ground lighting. The venues have gone from backroad bars to mainstream clubs. But, no matter what, the main purpose always stays the same. To have fun, entertain our Mafia Members, and grow our fan base. It is a very fine line between a great performance and having a fun time, but our founder walks that line every show and enjoys every second of it.
John Hindman comes from a lifetime of musical influence. As front man and lead vocals of John Hindman & The Mustang Mafia he brings a variety of styles to every show. Don't let the signature cowboy hat & boots fool you he can perform any genre which keeps the ""Mafia Members" moving!
