Muddy Ruckus
Muddy Ruckus is a “darkly inventive” rock duo according to the New York Music Daily. Guitarist Ryan Flaherty and drummer Erika Stahl of Portland, Maine play a grungy style of railroad indie punk blues. This stripped-down power-duo blends rootsy guitar and edgy percussion on a suitcase drum kit, and is known for a full rock band sound.
In the spring of 2023 the band released their 4th full length album, Vacationland, featuring tracks with legendary blues harmonicist James Montgomery and low-rock saxophonist Dana Colley of the band, Morph*ne. The album is packed with 14 red hot tracks that blend psychedelic rock, punk blues and fiery lyrics into a sound that’s uniquely Muddy Ruckus.
Presently the band is in the studio recording several new songs which they anticipate releasing over the next year. "Using the striking, heavy language of romanticism, the emotional impact of the words is not so much overwhelming as it is effective. Rare that a song can accomplish what classic literature sought to." - Gas Mask Magazine
“Legit dance hall crashers” - Glide Magazine
"Their music is down and dirty, steeped in the mud of the Mississippi delta and the Louisiana swamps, but also in the mud and grime of Woodstock and the mosh pit at an outdoor punk show." - Maine Today
"Infectious, foot-stomping Americana tunes. Similar to the White Stripes in duo power, Muddy Ruckus delivers a full-bodied sound with nothing but a guitar and suitcase drums.” -The Sound
“The White Stripes of Delta Blues” - James Montgomery
