hillbilly @ temperance | The Swamp Stomp String Band

With their signature blend of gritty ragtime, country heart, bluesy stomp, and folk-fuelled fire, all served with a fistful of "musical talent and unbridled humour”, The Swamp Stomp String Band deliver brazen, theatrical live shows that turn dance floors into dust clouds and spontaneous cider-soaked singalongs into unforgettable nights.

Armed with gritty guitars, twanging banjos, howling harmonicas, a thudding double bass, pounding drums, and their distinctive flat-pack honky-tonk piano, they tear through everything from riotous songs of questionable life choices to heart-worn ballads and modern sea shanties. Play your cards right, and you might even get invited for a waltz!

Fiercely independent, they self-record, self-promote, and self-release every track, working with friends, family and loved ones at every stage they bring a true DIY spirit to every stomp, shout, and sweaty encore.

For over 10 years they’ve stormed stages across the UK, from muddy festival fields to ram-packed city venues. And with three successful, self-promoted, nationwide tours behind them, this band unapologetically continues to hold two fingers up to those algorithm-friendly, over polished imitations and prove it’s still possible to play with heart, energy and personality.

“This band is a brilliant, energetic, party-starting, punk-rush of energy driving honky-tonk so infectious that 100mph hoedowns will soon be back in fashion.” - The Big Take Over
