Adjustable Mustard

Adjustable Mustard, both as a sound and as a concept, began life as one of the many psychedelic rock bands to emerge out of Auburn, Alabama’s very small but colorful original music scene in 2016; it’s original inception occurring immediately after the chance meeting of vocalist Katie Pitts and guitarist Will White, with whom each found nearly complete musical completion in one another.

Katie sang like Will played. 

Joined by bassist and Reverend Fred Lane custodial torch bearer Galen Hagerty, the project was given the name Adjustable Mustard, a nod to the genius of Lane and an attempt convey the adjustability of ALL mustard; the absolute interconnectivity of us all.Slopadelic Funkagoose drummer Jesse Lee and the timid, reserved brilliance of keyboardist Michael “Peterbuilt” Whelan completed the lineup, and the project began near constant rehearsals to develop an E.P.’s worth of material.

Shortly after entering the studio with producer Wade Allen in spring of 2017, tragedy struck, and the project entered a spiral of noise and confusion.  Upon the completion of their debut E.P. “Whatever’s Clever,” the band played a string of shows with various hasty lineup changes before finally disbanding later that year.  ”Whatever’s Clever” was essentially shelved for years; taking that long to essentially understand the music that they had actually recorded.

Now residing in Nashville, Will and Katie have picked up where they left off, and in early 2024 released “Pure Love,” their first E.P. in seven years. They are currently in the final stages of completing that E.P.’s companion “Your Love,” set to be released in late summer/early fall of this year.
