The Swamp Stomp String Band [Supported by The Gumbo Flyers]

MUSIC:

The Swamp Stomp String Band is a raucous and energetic travelling band renowned for the boisterous and bawdy, rough and rowdy, theatrically extravagant performances. They blend up-tempo, old-time music infused with Bluegrass, Country, Americana and practically anything else you might find pouring out of a beer-soaked roadside dive-bar!

There’s everything thing you’d expect; from twangy banjos and chugging guitars to a honky-tonk piano, a thudding double bass, and driving drums. These propel everything from drinking songs that will have the room stomping their feet and raising their flagons of cider, to ballads that will break even the toughest of folk. Play your cards right and you might even get invited for a waltz!

Supported by local legendary act The Gumbo Flyers - described by London’s Time Out as “the best urban zydeco band in Europe,’’ the Gumbo Flyers have performed their infectious stomps from the swamps of the Fowey River delta to enthusiastic audiences from Newquay to Norway. The cajun and zydeco aces have perfected the sounds of rural Louisiana and given the music their own unique stamp and never fail to impress with their hot and sweaty, high energy grooves.

With a heady mix of soaring accordion, manic rubboard and pulsating rhythms, these seasoned and well oiled professional musicians based in Cornwall never fail to excite wherever they play - From the dance halls of Louisiana to the bars of Barcelona and the festivals of France and even Finland, The Gumbo Flyers have thrilled wherever they’ve played.
